LOVE SONG
300 x 320 cm Watercolor Paper and Gouache with Natural Pigment Vienna 2014
Choreography: Andrey Kaydanovskiy
The diagram faults the traces of a danced love song. Love Song is a choreography by
the sought-after neoclassical ballet dancer and choreographer of the Vienna State Opera
Andrey Kaydanovskiy, which he presented at Junge Choreografen 2014 by the Ballet Club
of the Vienna State Opera and Volksoper taking place at Odeon Theater in Vienna. The depicted
work shows a detained fragment of the choreography, in which Kaydanovskiy dances a
one-minute excerpt from Love Song in the then artistʼs studio of Casanova Sorolla at the Viennese Kohlmarkt as a solo performance. One minute danced on the edge of tilt, a falling into
the picture and a stretching of its frame, all in a voluntary night shift. To participate in competitions
and to develop own choreographic work requires high ambition and initially unpaid
work by the dancers and choreographers. A reality of which the barren set in the nocturnal
artistʼs studio can speak, just as the occasional expressiveness, a gesture of urgency, writes itself
under the paper skin.
