Programme

DANCE

»ORDYH« // Stella Covi

ORDYH is a moment in which two bodies, one warm and full of life and the other completely frozen and lifeless, come together to complete what could intimately be called the ‘cancellation process’: Inevitably, the warmth of the human body will cause the icy mass to slowly disappear. What will be left then?

Concept, choreography, direction: Stella Covi
Photography, videography: Rowan Schratzberger
Music selection and live recording: Kosmas Dinh

»Ropa Tendida (clothes on a leash)« // Luis Hergón, Daura Hernández García

The dancers Luis Hergón and Daura Hernández García, both born in Tenerife, have lived in Germany for 17 and 9 years respectively and outside the Canary Islands for 21 years. ‘Ropa Tendida’ is a lovingly playful avance, mixing dance and drama, to a past place of life and longing: roofs.

Idea & performance: Daura Hernández García & Luis Hergón
Musical collage: Luis Hergón

THEATER

»20 litres O« // Marius Alsleben & Arnaud Grandjean

A performer and 35 plastic canisters search for common ground and show communities that are built up and collapse again before they are stable. Awarded the Rudolf von Ems Small Art Prize by the jury and audience at the Homunculus Festival 2018.

Idea, play and concept: Marius Alsleben
Outside Eye: Clara Palau y Herrero
