Where does homage end and plagiarism begin? In this dance conference, Olga Dukhovna exchanges with a legal expert to create, in real time, an original movement made up of a thousand others.

Presentation

Fascinated by what she calls “choreographic recycling,”, Olga Dukhovna explores the topic from a legal perspective in this dance conference. Accompanied by a legal expert, she asks countless questions: Is one allowed to reproduce a dance if they slow it down or speed it up? If they parody it? Where does homage end? And where does plagiarism begin? Based on the answers, the choreographer creates a live performance before the audience’s eyes... all within the boundaries of the law. 

أين تنتهي الإشادة؟ أين تبدأ السرقة الفكرية؟ في هذه المحاضرة الراقصة، تتحاور أولغا دوخوفنا مع خبيرة قانونية لبناء حركة إبداعية مؤلّفة من ألف حركة أخرى.
