Willi Dorner
come from somewhere go anywhere
Song recital night for three dancers, a singer and a piano player
In come from somewhere go anywhere, Willi Dorner condenses songs, slogans and advertising messages from recent decades and centuries into a night of song and dance – a jigsaw puzzle assembled from pieces that present parallels between the different periods, allowing themes of revolution, change and crisis to re-surface again and again from time to time. This diverting piece of entertainment will allow what historical theorist Siegfried Kracauer once described as accurately analysing and describing an epoch based on its simple surface manifestations.
“Come from somewhere go anywhere” … “Make yourself a priority” … “Ich bin mehr” … “Many, not the few” … “Glaub an dich” … “Love what you do” … “I am real”. These are the slogans that three dancers, a singer and a piano player in Willi Dorner’s dance and song recital show will take as their starting point for a quest for inspiration in 1920s musical revues, sayings, poetry, literature and songs from different periods in history. From Schubert and Brecht to OK Kid, the mix will be diverse but nevertheless present a few parallels between different periods of revolution. Does history repeat itself after all, at least in part?
Willi Dorner lives and works as a choreographer in Vienna. The works of his Cie. Willi Dorner include stage pieces as well as site-specific performances, which are valued guests at international venues and festivals. Willi Dorner was awarded the 2000 Austrian Dance Production Prize and won several other awards at a number of European choreography competitions. He most recently collaborated with brut in 2018 when he showed his site-specific performance every-one in Vienna’s 10th District.
