The State by Benicewicz
We're excited to present "The State," music composed by Wojciech Benicewicz for a butoh performance by Wojciech Matejko.
The compositions are woven from the sounds of string instruments—processed, fragmented, and glitched—with additional electronic sounds, noise, and sounds not found in nature.
"The State" is an invitation to an inner journey. It is the embodiment of change and a meeting of fragility. Postcards from a journey of becoming. A hug waiting for a return. This video performance interconnects Butoh dance performed by Wojciech Matejko with music by Wojciech Benicewicz and a live video stage setting.
Wojciech Matejko - Butoh performer, cultural animator, sociologist. He treats butoh not only as a performing art, but also as a non-religious ritual practice and a tool for transforming body and mind. He studied with Atshishi Takenouchi, Ken Mai, and Dai Matsuoka. He presents his performances and improvisations both on the stages of international festivals, and in public places. He is a co-creator and coordinator of the Open Jazdow Partnership.
