Three soloists, three choreographies, three spaces… and one composition. The theme: female creativity in art, politics and science. The place: three rooms in the Lister Turm, on different levels of the building, in which the three eight-minute solo performances are shown simultaneously. The audience moves from room to room, from level to level, and becomes, as it were, part of the overall performance. The choreography becomes a mediating instance between performers and audience, which is challenged to position itself again and again and to look for perspectives beyond the traditional view of a stage dance.

The viewers of the video “Move a Performance” can track down this aesthetic experience of the diversity of perspectives in the various body images and intersections and perhaps even empathize with them.

This artistic work on the myth leads to a reflection on the existential human themes of love, life and death, sexuality, freedom and violence.

When “speaking about Carmen” with words, gestures and sounds, the clichés liquefy. New perceptions, insights and forms of expression emerge beyond the stereotypes. Dance, text and music are equal and moving elements of the choreography, which are in a permanent dialogue on stage – in search of alternative, liberating stories about the myth of Carmen.

Premiere21st of september, 2019, Kesselhaus Hannover

The Kesselhaus is an inspiring place for an artistic experiment on the role of women in industry. The performance of movement, rhythm and sound conveyed to the audience the arduous circumstances of working in dirt, soot, heat, confinement and noise. The performers transformed the boiler house into an instrument, from which the musician was even able to elicit entire melodies, and into a participatory space of experience in which the audience had to position itself independently in relation to the three dancers in order to find a perspective.

the kesselhaus is a magical place where new forms of expression can be found for communicating with the audience.

The performance was a new experience every time, both for those on stage and for the audience. You have to study and do research so that all these experiences can flow freely when improvising and so that this journey / improvisation becomes interesting.
