"The dance about the discovery of locomotion"
The joints are as twisted as if they were bursting at any moment. And the muscle play under bare skin, the movements of the whole body has Harald Schulte concentrated under control. What sounds as expressive as it is grotesque is his dance. It is a dance that wants to provoke, which also revolves around taboo topics such as illness and death. It is not the big gestures that make up this dance, but it is the search and the discovery of locomotion.
Banned, the audience followed their performance with the white painted body last summer after an odyssey concert.

"... tension and relaxation, strength and relaxation, hardness and delicacy, rearing and sinking, life and (almost) death - these are the elements from which this ground-based movement canon arises. Schultes solo with tiny stretching and stretching poses in harmony with noise and music, meditation .... "" much applause of a knowledgeable audience. "

"An enthusiastic audience found in the past year the presentation of the first part of the dance cycle" Bodyfarm "by Harald Schulte, in which it was about death and transience and the transformations of human existence that result. With "Big Silence" Schulte brings the second part of the cycle on stage. The topic is silence in situations where you can not find words anymore. If you can not talk about guilt, dying and death. Every breath, every gesture becomes a sentence when nothing more can be said. Death is the great silence. A silence that springs from the fear of him. The silence, because you yourself have done something unspeakable. "Big Silence" is no longer a classical dance piece, but it is not a dance theater either. It's a piece with its own fascinating language. "

"... Harald Schulte dances his solo" Braindead "from the cycle Bodyfarm. Bodyfarm deals with death and physical decay. Decay, however, is not the end, but the beginning of a new form of reproduction. Grotesquely surreal - with the profound sense of being aware of the history of man beyond death. "
