S.O.S. – Songs of Sequence

S.O.S. – Songs of Sequence is the fourth chapter in Godder’s ongoing research regarding empathy, channeling together all the fluxes of knowledge accumulated so far. Presenting the show in an open space with an ensemble of 11 dancers, the work illuminates how abstract formality can be charged with the most profound human contexts. In S.O.S. – Songs of Sequence, the extensive experience of working with an audience that Godder and her company have accumulated, reaches its peak. Members of the audience are welcome to join – as viewers, witnesses, or active contributors, and participate in a joint voyage towards creating an ad-hoc, empathy-based community. The pandemic years have made this concept more relevant than ever, and the call for help, implied in the title, injects a dimension of urgency into a work that is conducted between the intimate and the monumental, between calm and intensity, between expansion and depletion.

The work premiered in T.L.V. Museum of Art
on February 2023
