Edelheid Solos - COC Free Concert April 3, 2008

Heidi Strauss
presents
Edelheid Solos
A brilliant interpreter and rising choreographic talent, Heidi Strauss performs the world premiere of a newly created solo and remounts Das Martyrium, her 2002 collaboration with designer/director Jan Komarek. Inspired by the Joan of Arc story, Das Martyrium is a haunting portrait of heroism and madness. “There’s more in a few minutes of this show than in some artists’ full-length pieces…” Glenn Sumi, NOW. “…the movement, filled by Strauss, is unique. Its signature is filigreed like the Persian carpet on which she dances” Nina Vangeli, Tanecni Zona.
