GRIP - Jan Martens (Netherlands) - ELISABETH GETS HER WAY
Elisabeth Chojnacka (1939 - 2017) was an exceptionally talented and passionate musician who was partly responsible for the revival of harpsichord music in the mid-20th century. Thanks to her talent and perseverance, in the 1970s and 1980s a large number of composers (Ligeti, Xenakis, Ferrari, Berio, Halffter) wrote new works for the harpsichord, often dedicated to Chojnacka.
It goes without saying that music plays a major role in this performance, with a soundtrack that covers a wide range of composers. From Nyman over Montague to Ligeti, always in a performance by Chojnacka. Martens plays his body like Chojnacka plays the harpsichord. Different movement styles are brought together. Martens slaloms through them as effortlessly as Chojnacka does between historical and modern musical registers. The dance is interwoven with a documentary layer about Chojancka's work and life.
