Interrelations – 18. Kalejdoskop

Interrelations is an outdoor, site-specific performance that transcends the boundaries of traditional dance, transforming public spaces into dynamic canvases of movement and artistic expression. This half-improvised work can unfold anywhere—an outdoor public space becomes a stage—seamlessly integrating the performers’ movements with their surroundings and bringing art into everyday environments.
At its core, the piece traces the subtle and shifting relationship between two bodies in motion. Movements unfold through listening—the dancers drift through cycles of connection and separation, carried by gravity, momentum, and impulse. What unfolds is continuously forming: a fragile architecture of trust, tension, and shared timing, where each moment dissolves into the next.
Interrelations invites the audience to witness the beauty of movement as it breathes life into public spaces, transforming the ordinary into an extraordinary interplay of interwoven stories, set against the backdrop of the surrounding world.

Authorship, choreography, performance: Niki&Martin Duo

Niki&Martin Duo is an artistic partnership founded in 2019 by Nikola Majtanova (SVK) and Marcin Denkiewicz (PL), originating during their studies of contemporary dance at ABU in Linz. They specialize in performing and visual arts, with a strong focus on contemporary dance partnering.
Their work spans dance, photography, film, and theater across Europe, Asia, and the United States. They have collaborated with institutions and artists such as La Galerie Choreographique, Body Architects, Wiener Staatsoper, Editta Braun Company, LajaMartin Company, Paul Blackman (Jukstapoz), and Jan Lauwers (Needcompany), reflecting their commitment to highly physical work that merges dance and physical theater.
They also explore the intersection of dance and film through independent choreographic works. Their project Interrelations brings performance into public and site-specific spaces, while their ongoing theater piece Forthcoming has been developed and performed across Austria since 2023.
Alongside their artistic work, they teach both dancers and non-dancers, focusing on partner technique and exploring physical principles such as weight, gravity, and momentum.
