A woman, completely alone on the large stage, with her back facing us. A camera, lying on the ground, is directed at her feet. A man approaches, picks up the camera, and lets it roam over the audience. Thus, we become protagonists of a piece that – through the medium of film – breaks the boundaries of the stage space. Hans van Manen’s video ballet “Live” is an icon of dance history: an intimate exploration of mechanisms of perception for a ballerina, a danseur noble, a cameraman and a pianist.
