Caroline Simon moves between humour and poetry, between the expected and the surprising, between body and language, between the certain and the possible. As a trio with Silke Z. (sound) and Garlef Keßler (lighting) the performance will be created live live in front of the audience.
Afterwards: We Need to Dance Together
You are cordially invited to learn dances from around the world and dance together – with a mulled wine!

Three performers are on the trail of foxes, because they are the success model of the future. They are looking for them and want to become like them. What makes foxes so cunning? So attractive and also mysterious? Can we humans become like them? Can we learn to listen better to urban foxes?

What do humans and plants have in common? At first glance we are very different, but if we look more closely, we have a lot in common: we grow, need the sun and are thirsty. Plants and humans both need to breathe. What does the breath of a plant feel and sound like? What is the rhythm of their movements? What does it sound like when plants touch each other? Do they talk to each other? The performers immerse themselves in the cosmos of plants and explore the way they move and unfold as they grow. Composer Jörg Ritzenhoff takes us into the sound world of plants and makes us experience the sounds of their growth.

DIVERSITY focuses here on the aesthetic potential of the ageing female and male body, around the visibility and changing of one’s own body. The program includes three short pieces about men and women over 60.
On 17.11. and 18.11. we host triple bill evenings:
ANGUS BALBERNIE – I LIKE CRIME SHOWS, MOUNTAINS AND MAYBE 3 PEOPLE
Angus Balbernie from the UK will improvise his show “I like crime shows, mountains and maybe 3 people” on both evenings.
Angus McLean Balbernie directs, choreographs, improvises, teaches and mentors. After around 85 performances, he says today:
“I don’t really enjoy the noise and hype of a lot of performances anymore. I enjoy smaller things in unusual spaces and studios, and work made by the unnoticed, the improvisers, the different and the broken. I enjoy people finding ways to move and compose and share themselves in space simply because they still have too…. That’s probably enough no?”
When he’s not performing or teaching, he now lives on a hill in Haute Provence, hikes in the mountains and plays the banjo with his left hand – quite badly.
Improvisation + dance: Angus McLean Balbernie Lighting: Beppo Leichenich

LISA THOMAS – DANCEYOURSKIN
Lisa Thomas from Stuttgart will also be showing excerpts from her performance “DanceYourSkin”:
Do women have to be young (and naked) to get a place on stage? In her dance performance, 63-year-old dancer and choreographer Lisa Thomas explores the very special artistic and dancing potential of her dancer’s body, which has changed with age. Using dance, photographs and live projections, she introduces us to the world and language of movement of the older body.
“The ageing human body has been at the centre of my work as a dancer, performer and choreographer for over 15 years. […] There are few old professional dancers present and as a consequence we have few collective images of older bodies dancing. I am interested in discovering the potential and beauty of my own 63 year old muscles and skin, e.g. their ability to vibrate, which a young hard body can never do.” (Lisa Thomas, 2023)

Silke Z. and the metabolisten will present the premiere of WITH US. EPISODE 4: KAREL (65) MEETS BETTINA (68) as a prelude to both solo works.
In WITH US. EPISODE 4 by choreographer Silke Z., dancers Karel Vaněk and Bettina Muckenhaupt meet. They embark on an impulsive process of rapprochement in which they explore different versions of themselves and make themselves available to each other with skin and hair. Sometimes explosive, sometimes pleasurable, they peel themselves from one skin into the next and play passionately with their relationship to independence.
Bettina Muckenhaupt and Karel Vaněk have been realising dance performances together with choreographer Silke Z. for many years and are both part of Silke Z.’s intergenerational ensemble “die metabolisten”.
Choreography: Silke Z. in collaboration with Dance: Karel Vaněk, Bettina Muckenhaupt Light: Beppo Leichenich Management: Hanna Held

ABWESEN explores the complex theme of absence: as bodily experience – in dance and life, alone and together, as a state of lack, as disembodiment, as fantasy. In this way, a language of movement is explored that understands absence as a resource and a source of impulses.

They shine, rattle, are cold, they don’t even move – and yet these things exude a great fascination. Everyday kitchen helpers are often just as exciting for children to discover as their colourful toys. What could it look like if this world of things came to life, danced and sounded? In „DOOHICKEY („DINGSBUMS“)“, tanzfuchs PRODUKTION turns its attention to the metal everyday helpers in the kitchen and transforms them into a clattering orchestra: it rattles and sounds, clatters and jumps, gyrates and dances. Familiar objects suddenly develop a life of their own, become fellow dancers, mirror images. The three performers explore, feel and experience this world of things – and connect with them: they become extensions of their bodies, disappear under their clothes. Things, people and movements magically merge with each other, giving rise to entirely new hybrid beings.
