Patricia London Ante Paris: Swing Swing Swing

In the organizer's words:

The participatory performance "Swing Swing Swing" oscillates between trauma and lust for life, between the flight, expulsion and concentration camp experience of three young women and the swing after 1945. All three women settled in Munich after the war. The art action starts at Rotkreuzplatz. Three women wrapped in gray blankets pull a heavy and exhausted cart to the Hubertusbrunnen. The performance begins there at 5 pm. You can hear the experiences of the witnesses. As soon as Gene Krupa's drum solo from Benny Goodman's "Sing Sing Sing" begins, the three tear the blankets off their bodies, reveal colorful demoness costumes and dance out all their anger, sadness and humiliation, but also their new courage to face life, until the audience is encouraged to dance along to swing music.

• Dance: Katrin Schafitel, Ludger Lamers
