FULL MOON / TELIHOLD

Full Moon brings together seven of Omma’s eight dancers to continue, broaden and deepen the exploration that begun with that piece. And Josef Nadj has decided to join them on stage. The moon in the title refers to the cosmos, to the formation of the universe, to the process that precedes and anticipates the appearance of life. Associated with renewal and transformation, with its 28-day cycle and four phases, it could also provide the piece with a kind of rhythmic structure, a compositional grid. Nadj’s research into the sources and their extension is combined with another avenue, another territory that he wishes to explore in this creation: the world of black American jazz.
