Still not Still | Ligia Lewis

Full of abysmal humor and surrealistic imagery, Ligia Lewis' work "Still Not Still" evokes a poetic theatrical language that shatters any fantasy of historical progress. If history is fallible, insufficient, and marked by gaps and absences, can it simply be consigned to the past? The image of an 8th century Black Madonna in Italy inspired her to create an evening dedicated to those left in the shadows by history: black and queer people, non-normative bodies. On March 23 and 24 at the Muffathalle

welcome to oblivion. Umbrüche – Zeitenwende – Déjà-vus | Beate Höhn, Micha Purucker

Which self-deceptions did one succumb to in the past?
which lies did we believe and why?

Should we have taken different paths from the experience of earlier crises and their consequences?
Why do we now experience déjà-vus that take our breath away?

A collection of material with film and audio contributions, photos and texts
on an expanded concept of the turn of the times, as well as experts in conversation.

An exhibition from March 23 to 26.

HUABUN | ZINADA (Jin Lee & Jihun Choi)

The South Korean choreographer and dancer duo Zinada (Jin Lee and Jihun Choi) present their debut production HUABUN (Korean for "potted plant"). The 40-minute solo dance theater performance in three chapters deals with a very current and personal topic for the two artists: what does it mean to put down roots in a new environment and build a life for oneself. HUABUN intertwines human and plant existence in terms of content and choreography.

Passable, not Presentable | Zufit Simon

Inspired by Firestone's biography and these portraits written with "grim laconicity,"

Workshop : "interdisciplinary dance theater between acting and dance" for professional dancers and actors | Johanna Richter

The WS plays with the "performing body" in multiple facets of interactive relationship, and with its repertoire beyond abstract dance. It is about situational movement, specific interaction, the threshold between playful gesture and dance, language as a continuation of physical communication, and improvisation with themes of play in fusion with dance vocabulary. 17.4 - 22.4 at the schwere reiter

for you my love | Johanna Richter

Five performers travel into the world of Shakespeare's works. In all facets of dance theater they bring the stories of the tragic heroes to the stage. They confront the dramas of humanity, the tragedies and conflicts and continuously change playfully from character to character. Thus, from play to play, the perpetual cycle of love and death unfolds, for all the tragic conflicts into which Shakespeare's heroes fall, and for the resolution of which they struggle, begin in the name of love, which transfigures into hate, and finally ends fatally. On 18 and 19. April in the schwere reiter

fear.less | Johanna Richter

Influenced by the experience of prescribed isolation, and the fundamental uncertainty of what human closeness can mean in times of a pandemic, Johanna Richter tells in fear.less beyond words, with a lot of humor and empathy, the story of six characters who, after a time in solitude, want to find their way back to a shared normality. All of them bring with them the psycho-physical traces of isolation that overwhelm them, and make them helpless to meet each other now in a confined space. They experience an emotional world of fear, insecurity, longing and the utopia of being able to meet again without restrictions. At the same time, the need for closeness reveals an elementary human need that is timeless and extends far beyond the aftermath of the pandemic. On April 21 and 22 at the schwere reiter

DorkyPark | Constanza Macras

The piece moves between overconsumption and global initiatives and reactions born on the Internet, fed by an angst-filled horror vacui, the fear of nothingness, and cookbooks in lockdown. Individualism is in crisis, but without copying nature to find forms of collectivism; a new path that fails because solidarity as such has not been established and predatory machinations prevail without clear goals or prayers. On 26 and 27 April at the Muffathalle

Körperatlas | Sahra Huby

In anatomy or biology classes, we learn about the human body as a skeleton or as a system of muscle strands and functions. Muscles, organs, body parts are depicted - but what exactly are these body parts, what defines my hand as a hand? And why is there no word for the area between my elbow and my upper arm? What would the body look like if we thought of it as a landscape, a weather system, or a folded skin sculpture? What do these body images look like in motion? With her piece Körperatlas, Sahra Huby explores existing body concepts and body images, changes them and plays with them. Through dance, ways of perceiving the body are expanded and alternative ways of depicting the body are presented by means of live drawings.
