Performance by Malin Kemper, Laura Schönlau and Marguerite Windblut
Inspired and filled with quotes from Unertrunken by Alexis Pauline Gumbs
from 14 years
What could be possible solutions for us humans to deal with problems, questions and fears about the future? What sources of strength are there and what strategies can we use to survive and live well in the world of tomorrow? Two artists who find it difficult to afford everyday life with their art meet in a fictitious dialog in the rehearsal room, tell each other about their fears and literally dive down with us to find answers to all these questions.

Dance of discourses on identity, power, origin and future.
“Daring and fabulously outrageous” is how the Bonner General Anzeiger describes Boys Confused Part 1 and continues as follows:”…in their new production, Tanzwerke Vanek Preuß play…with the ambiguity of postmodern discourses on cultural identity and power, political correctness, tolerance and cancel culture. It is a witty show parody of dance movement, music and spoken mono/dialogue. A performative collage from the world of contradictory ideological narratives and presumed interpretative sovereignty.” (translation to English by ehrenfeldstudios). The evening is dedicated to sustainability, among other things, and generates both frown lines and laughter.

Planning security, time pressure, lack of time… We all have schedueles that are tightly packed. In times of control and productivity, the LET GO! makes room for uncertainty, searching, letting go, failure and, of course, lots of dancing!
All people aged 15 to 99, who want to explore, discover and spontaneously create their own movement are welcome.
Barrier-free access. Participation with walker or wheelchair possible. Accompanying persons receive free admission.
DATE
Due to a clash of dates with the demonstration of the alliance “Köln stellt sich quer” against the extreme right, the workshop has been postponed from January 25 to February 8.
Sat, 08.02.2025 | 11 am – 3 pm
REGISTRATION
Participation fee: 65 € – 150 € (sliding scale)

At first there is just a wall of shelves, they are white, stable and tidy. But what happens when Felix, the dancer, meets Billy, the shelf? Billy is stiff, strong, heavy and seemingly unconquerable. Felix is an equal opponent who refuses to be defeated: He lifts the shelves, he dismantles them, climbs over them and transforms the white all-rounders into a thousand other things they could be.
He climbs through the shelves into another world. He builds what he needs and embarks on an adventurous journey to a dreamland that looks suspiciously like the Wild West. He lets his imagination take over – not only his own, but also the imagination inherent in the object.
Handling the shelves opens up possibilities for movement, which Felix curiously follows to see where they lead. The imagination of the young audience also plays a decisive role.

A cooperation with Schauspiel Köln.
Acquiring, storing, dissolving. Our possessions are constantly changing, growing in all directions, revealing ever new holes of non-ownership and encircling us. Property spreads to the furthest corners, family treasures are guarded closely or finally auctioned off, fought-over square metres expand and reduce our living space.
The OLDSCHOOL takes stock. What do I have, what do I need? What do I want to let go of? Where does the lifelong drive to multiply take us, and are there alternatives?
In a performative happening, the experienced ensemble takes stock of their belongings and invites us to an encounter between claims to property, bequests and old age. After the inter-generational production ERSTMAL FÜR IMMER and the guest performance project TEMPTATION, the OLD SCHOOL enters new territory and performs AUSVERKAUFT at various locations in the city.
Barrier-free access. Accompanying persons receive free admission.
