Jefta van Dinther / Minna Tiikkainen / David Kiers
Light, sound and movement merge into an intense experience: “GRIND” (2011) challenges our perception – with a body in relentless motion, pulsating beats and flickering light, an overwhelming choreography of the senses is generated.Rhythms that affect your vision. Dimensions that appear resilient. Light that makes you perceive darkness.

In “GRIND” – a collaboration between choreographer and dancer Jefta van Dinther, lighting designer Minna Tiikkainen and sound designer David Kiers – the components of body, light and sound create binds that affect, confuse and move.Inspired by synesthesia, the performance seeks to challenge our grip on reality by suspending our senses and short-circuiting perception.
With pulsating, breathing, flickering lights and the unrelenting beats of dark, loopy techno, “GRIND” generates a choreography of matter. Through duration and repetition the components turn around and around, churning until they start to seem foreign. Minimising in order to maximise, “GRIND” forges simple elements into a full-on affective machine.
50 mins.
