Test
Choreographed & performed by Anna Krzystek
Original live sound by Tom Murray
The premise for TEST is based on the act of waiting. Waiting, in all degrees of ambiguity, is experienced by everyone everyday.
From the beginning we experience the performers introspective, yet powerful presence, which immediately forms tensions between herself and the space, herself and time, herself & the audience.
Within all its sparse quiescence the solo radiates physical exertion to a point where the audience, no longer just observers, become accomplices in this seemingly ongoing waiting game.
The solo attempts to eliminate all sense of predictability and acts as a test to exercise concentration.
TEST was made possible by support from CCA Creative Lab and Scottish Arts Council.
The images she creates on stage are persistently etching themselves onto the retina of the viewer, staying there long after the images no longer exist in real time. Annika Tudeer Hufvadsbladet
