Absolute Zero is one of Saburo Teshigawara's best known choreographies. It explores the complete motionlessness of 273 degrees below zero. Yet in dance and life there can‘t be complete stillness. Absolute Zero is main focus of the two hour long stage version. This piece was adapted for the camera with pointed purism. The stage design is geometric: horizontal, vertical, but never diagonal. Teshigawara stands still for a considerable amount of time and seems boneless. The minimalist piano music by Caucasian Mystic Georges I. Gurdjieff and Thomas de Hartmann is danced to by Teshigawara and his partner Kei Miyata.
