Light Music is a truly magical performance resulting from the collaboration between the renowned composer and film-maker Thierry de Mey and percussionist Jean Geoffroy in which they explore new movement-sensitive technologies. While the performance unfolds - at the frontiers between visuals, sound and choreography - movement emerges through its diverse modalities of perception, enabling the audience to experience temporal shifts and leaps into the imaginary.

Interpreted by Trio Cérès and Jérôme Voisin
Violin: Julien DIEUDEGARD | Cello: Guillaume Lafeuille | Piano: Jonas VITAUD | Clarinet: Jérôme Voisin
Among Olivier Messiaen's works, Quartet for the End of Time, played here for the first time in Turkey, is the one in particular whose affective structure oscillates between awe and fear, hope and joy - exhibiting in 49 minutes a range of emotions one can encounter in a lifetime. Instead of affirming the orderly flow of everyday existence, this is music which acknowledges only two essences: the instantaneous and the eternal.

The artistic duo deufert+plischke presents two parts of their choreo-cinematographic series entitled directory. While directory: europe endless is a double-portrait of the artistwin, a passage along and through their lives embarking on a vast spatio-temporal journey, the second act of the performance, directory: songs of love and war, tells the story of their self-invention as "artist twins," as brother and sister and as incestuous couple.

In All Good Spies Are My Age, Juan Dominguez refigures temporality by staging a creative process which combines three simultaneous yet divergent times: the performing time, the cinematographic time, and the "real" time, itself made of the biological and the chronological.

Ivana Müller is back in iDANS, this year again with a witty work that invites our imagination to dance! While We Were Holding It Together creates a flow of images in becoming, always changing, sometimes lingering. Is this a rock band on tour? A depiction of a picnic in a forest? A hotel room in Bangkok? Following a series of enigmatic tableaux vivants, we imagine and reinvent the relationalities of the bodies on stage, where stillness incessantly reveals multiple times and narratives.

This special program of the festival consists of a selection of works by local choreographers which were conceived particularly for the festival's theme "Time." The selection by no means claims to be representative of the "young choreography" scene in Istanbul. Neither is it a "Dance Platform of Turkey." Rather, it developed as a call and response format: iDANS had submitted a call for projects in February 2008 for local emerging artists of various disciplines on the festival theme. After the reviewing of some 29 applications, iDANS visited some selected artists' rehearsal processes and discussed with them dramaturgical issues and concerns. In a way, it became a kind of "coaching project". We hope that the exchanges will continue well beyond the presentations, and high quality interventions will emerge from the encounter.

histoire(s) combines live arts, documentary and video installation. It explores how a mythical ballet which was presented 63 years ago inhabits the present minds of audience members who saw the premiere on June 25, 1946 at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris. Re-enacting the memory of an artwork through the accumulation of narratives, images, bodies and sounds, Olga de Soto proposes to reinvent the relation one has to dance and its history, and thus to the construction of subjectivity and temporality.

Osso (Bone) proposes a bubble of time in which you breathe a time that is an interval, a discontinuity, an epiphany. Here, childhood is a transcendent condition, a secret homeland evoked with lyricism held in the dimension of the fragment. Osso is a work of mirror-images taking place in two locations. The lack of involvement between its actions and an elementary, indecipherable time, together generate a clear space in which thought and experience are still one, and in which biography is an everyday mystery. But the mystery mixes with the game, necessary so that sacred time melts into that of the human.

Last winter Nina Gasteva went to Finland where she met Dutch playwright Robert Steijn. Robert Steijn had changed Nina's life. She became a Northern Reindeer. When Nina came back to Saint-Petersburg with her beautiful antlers, it was a big surprise for Michael Ivanov. Now because of that Michael listens to the music of Peter Tchaikovsky and reads Alexander Pushkin's poems. Sometimes he asks Nina: "What is it like to be a Reindeer?"

The "dada-soph" Palma Kunkel, a character from Christian Morgenstern's (1871-1914) humorous and philosophical poetry, abducts the audience into the labyrinths of Titanei, a satellite of Uranus, to the home of his fable-creatures. The talking snails, Ralf the Raven, the Wolf-fish, the Moon-Lamb, Golch and Flubis, the Four-forths Swine, and other noteworthy creatures of Gallow Song's are transformed into timeless music by Florian Grupp. Annika Krump reveals herself once again as an unmatched interpreter of Morgenstern's chansons.

Paris, Possible is the culmination of a solitary research project which was realized throughout a year. Being a single mother of more than one child who also have to work, destined the temporal expansion of the project schedule as well as its subject matters. The notions of disappearance, of surface and of infinity were the under-lying threads of these explorations of what it is to be a body - female body - and how it is embodied. Paris,Possible invites the spectator to experience his/ her gaze in a time-space that is sometimes multi-dimensional and sometimes flat. The language of the body via choreographic writing, the relation of the body to its environment via scenography, and the relation of the body to its protective sheath is explored. The temporal dynamic of the research is revealed by the change and transformation of matter and the exhausting of the notion of duration. Marking the dancer and the spectator in their radical differentness, the solo produces the accomplishment of seeing - the gaze, rather than the object.

In a unique "Live Processing" system she developed, Koosil-ja asks the dancer to develop an "invisible nervous system" outside of her skin and to extend her body and gestures to connect with the video monitor.

Nothing Can Surprise Us is a self fulfilling prophecy: it plays with strategies of fictionalizing one's life and how these scenarios become real through the process of rehearsing them. A performance combining cinematographic temporal dimension with that of live arts, Nothing Can Surprise Us is a performance about (the impossibility of) preparing for the future.
