Inspired by “Bernarda Alba’s House. Tragedy of the Women in the Villages of Spain” by the Andalusian author Federico García Lorca, “ELLAS” visualises the mechanisms of objectification & exploitation of the female body and shows ways of its reappropriation & liberation through dance. The tanzhaus ahrbergviertel becomes a living, changeable element of the performance. The three performers initiate actions of resistance in this closed social space using their bodies, movements, sounds and voices. The choreography aims to give the body back its ability to be touched and to touch, to be moved and to move. “ELLAS” wants to explore this liberating potential of dance in order to create an open, inclusive space that respects the diversity of human identities and enables relationality.
