PERFORMANCE
Project Rilke explores the encounter between Rilke’s First Duino Elegy and a living landscape shaped by wind, breath, and sound. At its core is the dialogue between poetry and electronic music. The elegy is not narrated or illustrated but transformed into physical impulse, vibration, and rhythm. Rooted in IVONA’s embodied practice, the dance unfolds through repetition, magnetism, and listening, interacting with a live DJ set. This relationship with sound introduces unpredictability, making each performance a unique and living composition.
