Lecture "ECCE (H)OMO - Black and White" by Paula Pi

To depart, once more and always, from what is already there, JC would say.

In every sense of the word depart, CS would say.

There and there, which are also yesterday and today, another JC replies.

ECCE (H)OMO – Black and White is a re-search-re-cycling-re-appropriation project around the dance cycle «Afectos Humanos» by german choreographer and dancer Dore Hoyer (1911-1967). ECCE (H)OMO is a desire to search for one’s dance within someone else’s dance, LT would say. This cycle consists of a series of short solos created by Hoyer between 1959 and 1962 on the theme of human affections: Pride/Vanity, Greed, Hate, Fear and Love. These five dances, it must be said, are as short as they are intense.
