Einen Moment, bitte | Caroline Simon

Einen Moment, bitte | Caroline Simon

Our daily life is full of seemingly insignificant moments, merging one into another. We stumble over them without noticing them. But what surprises do they contain? What can we discover, when we stretch, extend, and inflate time? With One moment, please, Caroline Simon invites everyone aged 3+ to dive into a world full of fantasy, poetry and humor, where everything is possible, and nothing is obligatory. Every performance is different, just like every moment…

TEMPTATION | Silke Z. & David Vogel

TEMPTATION | Silke Z. & David Vogel

Come a little closer. Even closer. Super close. Can you feel our age? Can you taste our experiences? Do you desire our knowledge? Which body do you reveal to me?

In TEMPTATION, 10 performers aged over 55, move between lust and loss, flirtation and shame, pleasure and pain and create a statement on sexuality in old age(s) in biographical excerpts and physical snapshots. TEMPTATION embarks on a journey to stimulating, lost and obscure places and is dedicated to the visibility of individual pleasure in old age(s).

TEMPTATION is a production by the Silke Z. company and was created in 2024 in cooperation with Schauspiel Köln.  The performers are made up of the OLDSCHOOL theatre ensemble from Schauspiel Köln under the artistic direction of David Vogel and performers from the Silke Z. company.

Artistic direction: David Vogel, Silke Z. Director: David Vogel Choreography: Silke Z. Performance: Friedhelm Friebe, Uta Gärtel, Anne Kaute, Felicitas Martin, Hartmut Misgeld, Bettina Muckenhaupt, Guido Preuss, Mina Rahimzacleh, Gabriele Seiler-Seidler, Majid Taatizadeh, Caroline Simon Costume: Julia Misiorny, Anette Köhler Set design: Anna Lachnit Lighting design: Garlef Kessler Sound design: Liam Giles Production management & assistance: Hanna Held, Matthis Volkmar

PLANLOS GLÜCKLICH! | Caroline Simon

PLANLOS GLÜCKLICH! | Caroline Simon

The workshop focuses on “instant composition”, a game with decisions, letting go, trust, perception …. and, above all, having fun with your own movement!
We will explore various tools, methods and strategies to create our own dance in real time.

How can we perceive, play with and compose unexpected and surprising possibilities by “not planning”?

 

For everyone with and without prior dance experience.

Barrier-free access. Accompanying persons receive free admission.
