With "Electric Spinning Gaze," Katja Davar examines the theme of metamorphosis on stage as well as in nature through the processes of folding and unfolding, the opening and closing of wings, thus embracing the inseparability of culture and nature. Katja Davar's starting point is an examination of the serpentine dance by American dancer, choreographer, and inventor Loie Fuller (1862-1928), who, shortly before the advent of film, developed abstract choreographies with sweeping silk costumes, colorful lighting, and projections with the Laterna Magica.
