TANZ_KASSEL & Friends: Duo Session

In the organizer's words:

Duo_Session: Dancers from TANZ_KASSEL & Friends show their own works

On this evening you will experience a thematic range from the confrontation with the manipulation and fragility of a monitored world to the feeling of not being able to feel at home anywhere.

We Shall Meet in the Place Where There Is No Darkness
Choreography and performance by Tired Eyes Company: Selene Martello and Dario Wilmington

Inspired by George Orwell's 1984, the production explores the effects of totalitarian control, surveillance and manipulation.
"If you want to get a picture of the future, imagine a boot stomping on a human face - forever". The play asks the audience to reflect on the dehumanizing effects of manipulation, the price of autonomy and the fragility of truth in an increasingly surveilled world.

"Do you understand that you are alone? You are outside of history. You do not exist. "

They stood motionless as their shadows intertwined
Choreography and performance: Sophie Borney and Selene Martello

A journey of discovery in a categorical world where everything seems to lead to separation, inspired by Fëdor Dostoevskij's Doppelgänger. A shared space to question "the other side" and a reminder that the greatest enemy often lies within ourselves.

LANDFALL
Choreography and performance: Aurora Magrí and Safet Mistele

LANDFALL is a contemporary dance duet about the silent longing to belong nowhere. Two bodies move in search of connection and yet always remain just beyond the reach of the other. Their gestures, tender and at the same time distant, draw the contours of longing and loss, as if they were reaching for something that never quite arrives. LANDFALL is a meditation on the silent, eternal search for a place of belonging, even if no place feels like home.
