Programme

DANCE

»Elusive Matter« // Bar Gonen 

"If I have my body, who does my body have? "Elusive Matter" seeks a physicality in which my body can feel at home. In this home, I free myself and let go of everything that restricts me. The now is a playground without rules. Everything has its place and everything is bullshit. 

When creating this solo I let things melt away, accepted what came and registered the result of my freedom. a solo with and in freedom. Almost a year later, the world has changed for us on October 7th and with it the meaning of freedom. Now I will be a home not only for my own. I’m going to dance for all people and souls who no longer can. I hope to lighten their hearts and fill it with hope that soon they will be free."

Choreography & dance: Bar Gonen

THEATER

»BESTIARIUM« // Annina Mosimann 
A variety show of forgotten animals

A wooden box. Or a house? Here, a window, there, a balcony. And strange figures cavort in the attic. Who lives here? "Bestiarium" is an examination of the house as an organism, as a living being, as a space of coexistence. A space in which the housefly has a special supremacy. A homage to the house and to those who inhabit it.
