Eiko & Koma dance about what matters to them. Their subjects are elemental; their message pitiless yet humanistic. Both their choreography and stagecraft are characterized by bold, highly theatrical strokes. In their desire to present an organic, conceptual environment on stage, they have often chosen to design and execute their own costumes, sets and sound scores. The result is stark, infused with a relentless stillness that subverts and transcends our everyday notions of time and space. Eiko & Koma want the vulnerability of their own dancing bodies to invite the audience’s empathy. Each viewer brings his or her own emotions and associations to the experience.
