A body and other objects & Loosing my power

In the organizer's words:

We are organizing our fourth show night of a new format called "Raw Material". The idea of this evening is to offer a stage to productions in an early stage of development. These shows are still fresh and open to the audience's reactions in order to take them into account in the further creative process. We welcome two productions each evening. The artists submitted their projects as part of an open call and were selected as the most suitable and exciting contributions for the "raw material" format.

This time we are looking forward to two wonderful pieces:

Loosing my power by Sasha Parkhomchuk
A body and other objects by Ana Jordāo & Vincent Kollar

Loosing my power by Sasha Parkhomchuk

Loosing My Power is a touching and powerful solo performance that takes the audience on an emotional journey. This piece was originally created as a final project at circus school, in which Sasha processed personal experiences with injuries and the associated challenges.

What remains when I can no longer move?
Who am I when I no longer have control over my body?

A queen enters the stage - powerful, untouchable, seemingly unshakeable. But soon this façade begins to crumble, revealing her vulnerability. What follows is a journey through pain, despair and transformation. Step by step, she learns to play with her pain, accept it and ultimately transform it. Humor and lightness become her salvation.
She discovers the joy of playing - with power, with vulnerability and with herself.
What begins as a difficult, dark story unfolds into a celebration of strength and life.

A body and other objects by Ana Jordāo & Vincent Kollar

A BODY AND OTHER OBJECTS is a captivating exploration of the human body as both matter and object. The piece explores the spectrum between gravity and weightlessness, corporeality and objecthood, reality and illusion - and challenges perception. It invites us to open up to new, limitless possibilities that arise when we let go of preconceived ideas of what a body can do.

Through deep trust and a finely tuned interplay, Ana and Vincent open up an intimate and delicate space in which the mechanics of human connection become visible. The performance is an invitation to rediscover the magic of the everyday - a celebration of radical care, symbiosis and the interconnectedness of all things, animate and inanimate.
