Yes is a research on how movement can affirm, contradict and expand the meaning of a word. By flipping the physical theater tradition of accompanying text with movement, the idea behind this piece is to let the body speak its history and context, with text as background. Using techniques from differentstyles and changing through a spectrum of casual gestures to very intricate and defined techniques it jumps through photograms of the choreographer's dance biography.
After finishing her studies in Choreography Major and Performance Major at SEAD Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance, Manuela Hierl has been invited two times to the Guidance Festival of Hannover with two pieces, to ArgeKultur Salzburg for the premiere of Mariia and to International Ballet Gala Landestheater Salzburg for the piece YES. As well as collaborating in several short movies with Colombian director Miguel Angel Cepeda Morales and freelancing for Irene Kalbusch Co, Marie-Lena Kaiser and Horacio Macuacua. Born in Germany and growing up in Spain , Manuela Hierl's choreographies have a strong feminist approach as well as searching for honesty on stage.
