FUSS ZUM KOPF deals with the musicality of aggression and explores the impact of intense feelings that sometimes insidiously, sometimes furiously take over our bodies. By zooming in and out, repeating, accumulating and dissecting aggressive behavior in the form of violence, the piece illuminates inner states and searches for expression - states characterized by tension, excitement, frustration, longing, destructive rage and helplessness. Fighting scenes in films serve as a source of inspiration, based on film stunt choreographies. Movement patterns are derived from cinematically staged fight scenes and developed into a dance - a fusion of contemporary dance and film stunts with live electronic sounds.
