Dandelion, examines our “sense of self” while questioning the uniformity of these perceived feelings. On an everyday level, a unified sense of self can be taken for granted. We wake up in the morning, feel comfortable and in full control of the physical body we are inside. Yet, many people have experienced events that have taken them out of their normal state of mind. Dandelion investigates these moments when we feel we have crossed over to glimpse an alternate state of being and uses dance, music and storytelling to reflect the emotions and experiences for the audience.

Catalina Carrasco, choreographer of the Spanish dance troupe BAAL, invites children to immerse themselves in a movement adventure and open a portal of fantasy and creativity together.
During the class, we will play with bodies, space, shapes and colors, using materials such as rubber bands, sheets of paper, dry brushes and other elements that enliven the dance. We will learn how all this affects our movement and opens up a world of new possibilities – painting with the body, drawing maps in space, creating bridges and paths.
The dance workshop is intended for children aged 5 and over and their accompanying persons. No previous dance experience is required to participate in the class. During the session, we recommend that participants wear comfortable clothing and bring a water bottle.
The session will be held in English with translation to German.

Mabel Revival is a hilarious mix of dance, performance, and cabaret. The choreographer Liisa Pentti together with musician Robert Kock are taking their audiences into the charmed world of female divas, adored icons and objects of our desire. Mabel is a woman without remorse, a female diva and shaman-performer. To celebrate life, one need to speak about death and embrace the realms where we can enter only in our dreams – thus the story of Marbel Revival. Mabel is a celebration of femininity and ageing and asks the question of how women in their 60s are still relevant on stage and how they are represented.
