Longing to Suspend
Nitsan Margaliot
„Longing to Suspend“ is an exclusive response to the Archiv der Avantgarden (AdA), it’s outstanding collection, it’s unique architecture as well as its second exhibition „Building Worlds. Visionary Architecture in the 20th Century“. Settled between dance and performance, „Longing to Suspend“ is a contemplation on topics like the archiving of the self, the body as archive, and the archive as living entity. For „Longing to Suspend“ Nitsan Margaliot collaborates with Tamar Sonn (dramaturgy, choreographic assistance), Antoine Mermet (sound design, composition) and Kaur Hensel (costume design).
