The silent film ‘Theatrical Personalities’ after Mary Wigman and Madame d’Ora is an interpretation of choreography of Mary Wigman, a pioneer of the modernist expressive dance. With abstract gestures and cautious movements, the dancers reconfigure the historically charged, here void time/space, which also is structured by the interaction of black/white and colour as light and shade. Finally a mirror casts the light which penetrates the stage on the camera and thus opens a further level of communication with the audience, which topicalizes, beside formal, contentual and historical aspects also the conditions and possible consistencies of the production of film and art.
