A PERFORMANCE ABOUT COURAGE & FREEDOM

[duration: +/- 40 min – full length, 20 min – short version]

.

Andrea Hackl – concept, choreography, dance

Ivan Shopov [Balkansky | Cooh] – music

WILD HORSE RUN is a piece about Freedom and Courage.

WILD HORSE RUN invites its audience onto a “tour-de-force”, a journey that is powered by an inner fire, the ability to keep on going, to break through boundaries, a love for freedom.

.

“The performance WILD HORSE RUN is both, wild & touching in its subtlety. 
Andrea Hackl’s movements are flowing, soft and, equally, powerful. 
The music – composed by Ivan Shopov – elevating and rich in its many layers. This second layer of the work supports her intense physicality and accentuates the gentle and soft moments. Her dance – a ritual. Her story – the journey of a powerful woman.” – Ines Pariente / TOIHAUS Salzburg

“Strong, physical, sensitive … no words !” – Atanas D. Maev, CEO of Derida Dance Company
