The piece It was is about the flow of one’s own individual and collective identity. The title includes a hint of change and movement, a transformation that resembles a metamorphosis. Something was, something is and begins, but both are always mutually dependent.
In exchange with the two choreographers, the media artist Alex Villard and the musician Noayama develop the image and sound layers for this piece. Very different ways of working meet and so It was becomes a unique symbiosis, albeit not always harmonious, of contemporary dance, visionary media and sound art. The piece was shown during the Ars Electronica Festival 2024.
