In Variations on Closer different variations of closeness between an individual and his observers is investigated. The audience\u00a0are challenged by 3 female performers, whom extensively conceal and reveal them to the limited perception of themselves. Offering them their expertise in manipulation and representation of performative stunts. Confusing, un arming and seducing the audience into their own disorienting reality. The observers and performers alike are offered a chance to renegotiate their feelings associated with living outside one’s own body as well as living through the bodies of others and\u00a0are confronted with the role of their own gaze and their ever shifting feelings of empathy, attraction, intimacy and alienation.\u00a0The soundtrack was created by music maker Peter Rehberg (PITA).<\/p>\n

Icelandic choreographer Margre\u0301t Sara Gu\u00f0jo\u0301nsdo\u0301ttir continues in the spirit of these liberating experiments with her piece,Variations on Closer. Her work features three highly individualistic looking women, minimalistic dance and experimental, electronic music by Peter Rehberg which becomes another distinct presence on stage. The performers confront the gaze of the audience and manage to expose each one of us as much as they expose themselves. Their powerful command of the gaze deflects ours and becomes a shield to protect their vulnerability…Variations on Closer is hard work. You are implicated in the performance, you cant hide in your seat. You dont get any closer to the protagonists. However it is effective in that it presents women performers who take control and empower themselves not through theatrical devices but through the gaze…The performers confront the gaze of the audience and manage to expose each one of us as much as they expose themselves. Their powerful command of the gaze deflects ours and becomes a shield to protect their vulnerability.<\/p>\n Josephine Leask,The Dance Insider, London, 3rd of October 2014<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/msgudjonsdottir.com\/videosweb\/TRAILER_VOC.mp4″ src_webm=”https:\/\/msgudjonsdottir.com\/videosweb\/TRAILER_VOC.mp4″ image_src=”https:\/\/msgudjonsdottir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/visual-VOC-trailer.jpg” thumbnail_overlay_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.6)” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ custom_margin=”|100px||100px|false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”|80px||80px|false|false” custom_margin_phone=”|10px||10px|false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text admin_label=”Variations on Closer(2012)” _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”Dosis||||||||” text_text_color=”#8e8e8e” header_text_align=”center” header_text_color=”#595758″ header_3_font=”Dosis||||||||” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ text_orientation=”justified” custom_margin=”|150px||150px|false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”|80px||80px|false|false” custom_margin_phone=”|15px||15px|false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/msgudjonsdottir.com\/videosweb\/VARIATIONS%20ON%20CLOSER.mp4″ src_webm=”https:\/\/msgudjonsdottir.com\/videosweb\/VARIATIONS%20ON%20CLOSER.mp4″ image_src=”https:\/\/msgudjonsdottir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/variations.jpg” thumbnail_overlay_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.6)” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ custom_margin=”|100px||100px|false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”|80px||80px|false|false” custom_margin_phone=”|10px||10px|false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”550,552,553,554,551″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Variations on Closer \u00a0 Synopsis & credits In Variations on Closer different variations of closeness between an individual and his observers is investigated.
