DANCE FOR NOTHING (revisited), 2024

by Eszter Salamon


Choreographer and filmmaker Eszter Salamon revisits John Cage’s Lecture on Nothing (1949), a piece she initially engaged with in 2010 through her solo performance Dance for Nothing, which paired Cage’s words with her movement. This time, Salamon experiments with the modulation of physical movements, focusing on the sonic aspect of this seminal lecture on nothingness, void, and composition. She adds depth by listening to one of her past performances in which she repeated the text after a slowed-down recording by the American cellist and composer Frances-Marie Uitti, creating an auditory exploration of transmission and transformation.


Salamon’s fusion of body, voice, and score sets the framework for a meditation on the simultaneity of movement and sound, and on interpretation
