The title of the piece succinctly describes what Martin Nachbar achieves in his performance. The copyright of the five short dances, based on the human emotions of vanity, desire, hate, fear and love, belongs to the expressionist dancer, Dore Hoyer. Nachbar has been involved with her dance cycle Affectos Humanos (1962) since 1999. He has succeeded in lifting it, so to speak, out of the depths of history. This already resulted in affects / rework (2000), in collaboration with Thomas Plischke, which dealt with three pieces of Hoyer‘s dance cycle. URHEBEN AUFHEBEN completes this cycle, focussing on the two remaining parts, vanity and love. Nachbar is, however, not concerned with a reconstruction. He plays with the material and turns it into his own. It provides him with so much inspiration, that, in the end, his own material predominates. So he becomes archivist and visionary, rolled into one. The piece constantly examines the contradictions between the known and the unknown, between past, present and future, and conveys these reflections to the audience.
Martin Nachbar received his dance training at the School for New Dance Development in Amsterdam, in New York and at P.A.R.T.S. in Brussels. In his work he combines dance, choreography, dramaturgy, text and visual media. He worked with companies and choreographers such as Les Ballets C. de la B., Vera Mantero, Meg Stuart and Thomas Lehmen and was co-founder of the collective, B.D.C. / Plischke. His most recent, internationally presented works have included Repeater, mnemonic nonstop, one shared object PROFIT AND LOSS as well as URHEBEN AUFHEBEN.
