“Another 12” (a practice on translation and emancipation) performance by Sara Gebran “Another 12” is the last solo of a series of three solo performances related to one another by a similar starting point – with different compositional arrangements: artists from different disciplines and countries translated images from another project, chosen by Sara, into a movement phrase, resulting in their translation of 32 dance phrases of maximum 2 minutes each. Translation comes after the original and continues and develops from it, staying close to it, while undergoes a transformation and a renewal from the original towards an afterlife. Since all translations mark their stage of continues life, so it is the translation of the audience, an “afterlife continuum” without the mediation of given meaning, a continue surrendering from the original. “Another 12” also investigates freedom between the parts, between the movements, and in the passages between medias. It is an exercise for the emancipation of composition, in order to liberate it from the relations which binds the parts to the whole, the original and the translator, the maker and the viewer, opening for new spaces in between them, as collective spaces for new relations and new meanings to emerge.
