The new piece by Hungarian choreographer Josef Nadj, Omma is primarily a story about sharing and transmission. Featuring a group of eight dancers, it is infused with influences, movements, cultures and histories.
This one short word, explains Nadj, makes a good title: clear, easy to pronounce, and apparently enigmatic, because in ancient Greek – in the work of Homer and Sophocles – it meant eye, sight, gaze, spectacle. And “Look beneath our eyes to better see deep inside ourselves” is the meaning of the images and visions crafted by the choreographer.
Omma is a piece for eight dancers from Africa – DR Congo, Republic of Congo, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso – who come from diverse training and creative backgrounds spanning traditional dances, wrestling, storytelling, rap, classical dance and acrobatics. With them, Josef Nadj devised a sequence of small narratives, the atoms of a plural matter, by going back to the essence of dance. Then he handed them the stage and, for the first time, stayed out of the dancing.
