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…

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).

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.
