Soso

Samuel Feldhandler comes from a family of musicians. In his practice, he is looking for ways to translate musical forms into choreographic scores. For his new dance piece, dedicated to his grandmother Soso, he uses a variety of interpretation and composition techniques such as canons, quotations, fugues and inversions.

Sonia ‘Soso’ Feldhandler (née Krajsztajn) was born in France in 1933 to Jewish-Polish parents. Her father went to war in 1939, her mother was arrested in 1942. With the help of neighbours and relatives, Soso was able to hide in a small town in Switzerland until reuniting with her parents in 1946. Today, more than three-quarters of a century and many, many stories later, two of her grandchildren, Samuel and Alma, collaborate to bring the dance portrait Soso to life.
