Mobile is a study in homogeneous tension for either a man or a woman
in which all movements are of equal importance. This conception is
supported by the image of a moving sculpture which also suggests the
sustained and swaying character of the composition. A silver mask
is worn with the intention of emphasizing the remote atmosphere of
the work.
Requires a dancer able to control flow and inner tension. Movement
is precise and subtle with small actions and not much locomotion.
Choreographed in the Jooss-Leeder style.
