Programme

DANCE

»IN Sensitivity« // Yahi Nestor Gahé & Lilly Bendl

IN Sensitivity is an interactive performance on the subject of speed. How fast or how slow can a body perform familiar movement sequences? Does it change through the movements and their speed? What influence does the speed of the movements have on the audience? Does the intensity of the dance spill over onto them? An investigation into being human in today's world, which is characterised by increasing speed. An attempt to take speed to the extreme for both the performer and the audience.

Choreography: Yahi Nestor Gahé
Dance:Lilly Bendl

THEATER

»Liebe X, lieber X« // Anna-Maria Shawky, Mara Jawetz, Zoé Broneer

Four puppets and three performers explore what it means for a young body to move an older one and give it a voice. What are the power structures associated with ageing and care work? What does it mean to care for a body that is not your own, to listen to it and let it lead you where it wants to go? The encounter between the puppets, the audience, the performers and Heike Geißler's prose brings everyday life with its small disappointments and feelings of guilt onto the stage and at the same time questions the moral, social and political framework in which we live today - with honesty and humour.

Participants: Anna-Maria Shawky, Mara Jawetz, Zoé Broneer
