LUSTOPIA is an intergenerational and inclusive stage piece on the themes of desire and utopia, co-produced by choreographers Laurynas Žakevičius and Airida Gudaitė, the urban dance company LOW AIR from Vilnius, Lithuania, and contemporary choreographer Silke Z. from Cologne.
The project brings together six dancers from Lithuania and Germany who differ greatly in age, generation, ability and dance biography. Individually and as a collective, they follow the lure of Pleasure moments and develop a utopian blueprint of their unique and shared pleasure. Is LUST bound to certain characteristics such as age, gender, body or disability? Do shame and insecurities caused by gender ascription, age or disability get in the way of UTOPIA? The project moves playfully between pleasure, obscenity, bodyshaming and bodypositivity and consciously rubs up against social norms and existing taboos. In the search for a lustful freedom, the joint dance exploration of boundaries and in contact with each other, LUSTOPIA follows the utopia of a moving fusion of bodies. LUSTOPIA invites the audience to a dance performance experience that explores the differences of each individual and the utopia of a shared identity.

Dancers enchant, perform magic, conjure up friends and foes out of objects which tremble with rage, stomp out of spite and jump for joy. With lots of humor and accompanied by live-produced Asian soundscapes (from Kabuki and Beijing opera to Japanese pop), the trio takes the audience playfully into an emotional world full of magic, dance, music and clownery. The premiere of “Buckets of Feeling!” took place on 14. September 2014 at Barnes Crossing in Cologne.

The affair between Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton, the “nipple gate” surrounding Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake, Gina-Lisa’s lighthearted “Zack, the bean!” and the rape allegations years later. The stories of these three women and their public shaming have been remembered by many through media attention. But how is female shame dealt with in public? The performers of Konnective deal with this question – lustfully, aesthetically and with high physical commitment.
To watch the performance, you need to have a minimum age of 14 years.
Performers:
Saliha Shagasi, Judith Niggehoff, Sophie Halcour
PLEASE NOTE !
The performance deals with the theme of sexualised violence.
