The Company

 

The dances that the company YVONNE VON MOLLENDORFF - CONTEMPORARY DANCE  creates wellcomes you to a world as different from the real world as possible. The images we produce are the result of a meditation that melts the rhythms of the heart with the deep space that awaits us behind the light. Obsessions and intelligence plus an uncertain amount of incorruptibility offer as much of what usually is hidden.

  

The company was founded in 1986 and has staged since then more than  20 full-length programs.  Each creation implies an extensive process of investigation for which professionals of diverse disciplines are invited. The group is independent, autonomous and free and has opted to maintain a flexible structure whose nucleus consists of  3 dancers, 2 actors and a musician. This way a coherent choreographic repertoire has been created with a very personal aesthetic appreciation related to the countries idiosyncrasy, the visual arts,   theater,  poetry,  magic, architecture and, of course, to music.

 

The last works were ANOTHER BODY (Cristóbal Colon), GUEST OF A BUSY SKY (dedicated to Leonardo da Vinci), OPEN ARMS (about the pre Colombian culture Chancay), CROSS SECTION/VINCENT VAN GOGH , MAGIC (homage to the poet Góngora), VOICE OF VOICES (a theatre play  to the lyrics of Song of Songs), FIVE CARDINAL POINTS (a collaboration with the Canadian musician/composer Damiel Janke), MAGICIANS OF THE SILENCE a didactic dance/play dedicated to children and symphonic music, and TIME, WITHOUT DOUBT, HAS EARS (dance improvisations to life piano music by Daniel Janke).

 

The group stays in the vanguard with an interdisciplinary vocabulary, regular annual premieres and a wide diffusion. With 18 years of activity, this company receives growing recognition so much in Peru as abroad, assuming constantly invitations to tours, important cultural events and festivals in numerous countries. In more than 25 opportunities their creations have been shown abroad, in: Chile, Ecuador, Paraguay, Bolivia, Mexico, Colombia, Nicaragua, Brazil, Cuba, Aruba, Venezuela, United States, Spain, Portugal, Germany and Italy.

 

The company is available for tours and offers the wide range of its repertoire.
