ISTANBUL - iDANS Istanbul International Contemporary Dance and Performance Festival, presented by the Bimeras Cultural Foundation, completes its marathon month-long program today with a fascinating performance that combines visual and cinematographic arts with choreography and performance.
Amsterdam-based Croatian artist Andrea Bozic will present her cine-choreographic work "Nothing Can Surprise Us," a piece about the impossibility of preparing for the future. During the performance, a small crew is filming a catastrophe survival scene, but scenes from other films constantly interrupt the scene.
"Nothing Can Surprise Us" is based on and inspired by Wolfgang Petersen’s "Das Boot," Ridley Scott’s "Blade Runner," Andrei Tarkovskys "Solaris," Alfred Hitchcock’s "The Birds," Claire Denis’ "Beau Travail," and Stanley Kubrick’s "2001 Space Odyssey" and "Dr. Strangelove."
The event will take place today at 8:30 p.m. at garajistanbul.
