Verweile doch, du bist so schön! Cooperativa Maura Morales, Music by Michio Woirgardt

There is no speeded up footage in this video. Maura Morales moves like this in real time. Choreography/Dance: Maura Morales Composition/ Live Music: Michio Woirgardt Light Design/Technical Direction: Pascal Geherke It is probably the most famous bet in world literature: Goethe’s Faust strikes a blow at Mephisto, it is about his soul and about a single fulfilled moment. Faust thus makes direct contact with his own present presence and connects with the time quality of the moment. We have all experienced it - the perfect moment. And we are all aware of the fleeting nature of every experience, yet we want to fight against it again and again. Experiencing the moment is one thing. Accepting its ephemeral nature is another. In this solo, Cooperativa Maura Morales dedicates herself to the magic of the moment and its infinite finiteness. Premiere on October 31, 2020 as part of the “19th Krefeld Days for Modern Dance MOVE!“ at Fabrik Heeder in Krefeld. A production of Cooperativa Maura Morales in cooperation with
