CORE 
Rui Horta

Rui Horta, whose practice also includes lighting and stage design as well as opera direction, is regarded as one of the most influential choreographers of his generation. In 1991 he founded the legendary dance company S.O.A.P at the Mousonturm, which had a lasting influence on the Frankfurt dance scene. Now, with CORE, Rui Horta returns to Frankfurt and examines nothing less than the essence of human co-existence. What constitutes collectivity? How can collectivity be created? And what role is played in this process by the voice, song, the body and movement?  

Rui Horta invites people with and without previous dance experience on to the stage to explore these questions with him through recitation, song, music and dance, devising a sonic landscape of voices and bodies that moves both the audience and the performers.
