HYPERBOLE EXTENDED is a dance performance performed by eight dancers from the artist collective FMKF under the direction of Franka Marlene Foth. The piece is conceived as a synergy between dancers, sound and audience and places the visual and auditory experience in the foreground. The poetic logic, in which dance as an individual narrative takes centre stage, lifts the audience emotionally to the same level as the artists in the reception process. The poetry of dance, the expressiveness and strength of dancers becomes visible.

Dance traverses the worlds of art without consistently belonging to it or receiving due recognition as a primary art form. HYPERBOLE EXTENDED frees dancers from this stigma and reveals the artistic dimension of dance in its purest form. Dance stands for itself as a narrative and serves as its own language for those who perform it.

The collectively performing bodies of the dancers open up a place of accessibility for the audience. What counts is the experience in the moment. The body as a medium. The piece HYPERBOLE EXTENDED lives from the immediacy of the present and reminds us of intense experience in times of physical alienation and social isolation.

As part of the premiere of HYPERBOLE EXTENDED, another work by Franka Marlene Foth in collaboration with digital artist Claudia Rafael and photographer Mika Kailes will be exhibited. On display is a first work from a series of A.I. Visuals that deals with the reality of human perception of bodies.

The dancers in HYPERBOLE EXTENDED move to the sounds of Oleg Solovey, an experimental Ukrainian artist from Kharkiv/Berlin who relies on unconventional compositional methods. His sound palette draws from diverse sources such as spectral and modular synthesis, microsampling and physical modelling. Oleg Solovey’s genre-crossing music combines various sound elements into a coherent, driving whole.
