\na Butoh dance solo by Seda B\u00fcy\u00fckt\u00fcrkler with Helga K\u00f6lle-K\u00f6hler (vocals) and Reinhard K\u00f6hler (music)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Inspired by a Tuvan music group, the image of a man standing on a hill of a green, vast steppe, merged with nature, the earth and his homeland in a brief moment of his life. He becomes one with the earth.<\/p>\n

Toprak is Turkish. The word means the earth, the ground, the land. It is the earth soil from which he descends, on which his body “blossoms”. It is the homeland that shapes him and gives security for his growth.<\/p>\n

We carry the place of our descent within us – it is in our body. Through our body we are connected to our home everywhere on earth. The earth is our home in this infinite universe. It is our MOTHER. Toprak is dedicated to the EARTH, which carries us, nourishes us and shapes us. The piece is a thanksgiving to the Mother Earth.<\/p>\n

The dance expresses the specialness, texture and her hidden essence.<\/p>\n

The search for dance creative possibilities led the artist to the inside of his body. In the moments of research and development, it was no longer about finding something, but about expressing clearly audible and subtle representations in the connection with the body.<\/p>\n

The performance is a solo piece with vocals and live music that he has been working on since 2013. The first small scenery of the piece was created for a performance in G\u00f6ttingen. In the following years, a collaboration with Helga K\u00f6lle-K\u00f6hler and Reinhard K\u00f6hler developed.<\/p>\n
