The Almaty Gallery hosted a choreographic performance "Touch of Art" of the modern dance theater "Samruk" dedicated to the International Dance Day, the correspondent of Art of Her reports.

The action took place in the center of the gallery's exhibition hall, where 4 sculptures formed different corners of a square. Any willing viewer could approach him and ask his pose, without any restrictions (everything could be touched, even the face). However, life left the sculptures, as soon as the audience departed, they returned to their original position.

Only the cosmic ritual dances of the modern dance collective "Samruk" could give life. Sculptures came into free plastic movement.

«Моя задумка полагалась на идею: грань стирается между зрителем и артистами. Здесь нет кулис, нет оркестровой ямы, зритель присутствует на сцене. Он может чувствовать дыхание, видеть плоть, чувствовать артиста телесно», — рассказала режиссёр Томирис Меттыбаева.

It is important to note that the audience was completely different in relation to the artists: someone touched the bodies of strangers with trepidation and tenderness, and some were altogether too harsh.

«Я представлял себя скульптурой, пытался максимально освободиться от своих мыслей. В момент когда меня трогали, я боролся со своими эмоциями и отдавался потоку зрителя», — поделился артист современного танца «Самрук» Александр Клишин.

In the second part, solo numbers by Adlet Tamenov and Meirambek Beisenbekuly were shown, in which they are the authors of the numbers. The choreographic performance ended with the number "Effect of Paints".
