:: program In i.e. All All Over Over All All et. al., a production by Swedish performer, curator, and dance critic, Mårten Spångberg, the audience is primary. The performer and what he conveys are of secondary interest. Mårten Spångberg invites the audience to look at questions of choreography and the act of "viewing" from two fundamentally different angles. In the first part, he plays with the construction of choreographic signs by "doubling" the spectators' gaze: He has the performer disappear from the stage and replaces him with a member of the audience. In the second half, the audience is on stage and determines what direction the performance takes from there. The virtual division between the stage and audience's space is doubled in the actual stage architecture. Mårten Spångberg has examined the fundamental relationships of choreographic concepts in numerous performances. The work, i.e. All All Over Over All All et. al., brings the stage and the audience to the "performance" – in the end, the viewer walks out of a performance in which he was the protagonist...
