Description
The sculpture Norma was created in the USA in the 1940s in the field of tension between what something is and what something should be. Around eight decades later, the choreographer and director Saar Magal thematises Norma in her dance piece 10 Odd Emotions.
Stefanie Hampel first looks at the materialisation of what was considered ‘normal’ at the time and analyses the sculptures Norma and Normman by Abram Belskie and Robert Latou Dickinson from 1943. Against the backdrop of Saar Magal's piece 10 Odd Emotions, the author explores the questions of what deconstructive, media-specific potential theatre has here and how human bodies are (re)arranged on stage.
