We want to set a performative sign and make DANCE IN THE CONTEXT OF AGE(ING) VISIBLE in the PUBLIC.

This project is science fiction. A choreographic piece in process that pushes the human body to experiment with its physical and biological limits and to fantasize about the possibilities to connect, update or mutate in relation to its present and future historical context. We are at the gates of a technological revolution that can fundamentally affect the way we live, work and build relationships.
After 2 weeks of residency at ehrenfeldstudios, the company Baal from Mallorca opens the doors to present their new sci-fi production.
Concept / Choreography / Dance: Catalina Carrasco, Gaspar Morey
DATE
Sat, 17 August 2024 | 6 pm

Foxes have many faces: they are cute and cunning predators, shy and curious at the same time. Free like a cat, but also sociable like a dog. They live in the forest as well as in the city, in the ice and in the desert. They move between worlds, adapt and conquer new places. They have many characteristics and many habitats. They sneak and jump, they bark and sing. They are considered clever, sometimes even magical. Never only good or only bad. They are at home everywhere and there are stories and fairy tales about them in all cultures.
The dance parable “FOXX” follows the trail of this versatile animal. Three performers immerse themselves in the world of the fox and test its abilities, movements and characteristics. They jump and move between the European Reineke and the magical nine-tailed Japanese Kitsune, between fairy tales and manga, traditional dances and K-pop. It will be colorful, fairytale-like, shrill and at the same time shy, sensitive and mysterious.
Choreographer Barbara Fuchs follows the tracks of the animal that gave her her surname. Composer Jörg Ritzenhoff creates atmospheric electro-acoustic soundscapes, Arthur Schopa creates a lively video image layer that interacts with the performers and playwright Charlotte Luise Fechner has written a fox parable for the production, which is also reflected vocally in FOXX.
