For almost 20 years, Cyprus-born, Düsseldorf-based choreographer Alexandra Waierstall has been staging productions throughout the world.
The book “And here we meet: Choreography at the edge of time” offers the first major account of her work, a survey at once comprehensive and multifaceted. Insights into her career come from large-format photo series and trenchant essays, including contributions by Monica Gillette, Emily Markert, Roberto Fratini Serafide, João da Silva, Melanie Suchy and Paraskevi Tektonidou.
The direct, physical imagery of Alexandra Waierstall’s works is as impressive as the radical presence of her dancers. They draw from the vital interpersonal negotiation of complex relationships which unfolds in choreographic constellations, images and transformations. Here, choreography becomes a means to empowerment in the incarnation of social responsibility, and a starting point for forms of communality.
