How do you dance with a text? What new meanings can appear when dancers manipulate objects with words and sentences written on them? An intriguing pas-de-deux between dance and written language, bodies and letters.
The American-Swiss choreographer Joshua Monten was born in New York. He works for theatre, opera, ballet, museums and artistic dissemination programs, and he teaches at the Bern University of the Arts.
