»A total surprise« and »What a pleasure, this curse« wrote the critic Dominique Frétard about the premiere of CHORE(O)GRAPHIE / JOURNALISMUS:KURZE STÜCKE at Théâtre de la Ville in Paris. The artistic cosmos of the visual artist and his ensemble NEUER TANZ combines machine guns with pop music, military drills with classical ballet and the »totality of the twelve-tone technique« à la Schönberg. VA Wölfl puts conceptual dance to the test by implementing just that: This is how serial thinking emerges from choreographic doing. His choreographies are associative inner worlds that are revealed to the audience one piece at a time.
»The viewer’s eye and all of its underlying cells feel the exhilaration, the thrill of his choreography of inflatable tanks, scorched microphones and fiddling dancers. It is no coincidence that the noise – the demonic click when 17 dancers release their Walther PPK and shoot themselves in the knee, sounds like a camera shutter.« Arnd Weseman about VA Wölfl
