Misslightenment | Eleni Ploumi

“The light that we miss”

In Misslightenment, Eleni Ploumi explores the male role that overshadows women’s stories and bodies. She draws on the mythology and current mistreatment of women and reflects on her own memories. Misslightenment is a visually stunning performance in which the solo artist interacts with projected images and transforms herself into multiple characters. Through shadow, light and video, fragmented female narratives unfold, blending reality, fantasy and mythology.

Misslightenment is part of the LOOK guest performance series for dance art and diversity.

SAME DAY DELIVERY | Kharaba & Guests

SAME DAY DELIVERY | Kharaba & Guests

Same Day Delivery is a space for music and dance improvisation.

Dancers and musicians each present a short solo and then improvise together in a group performance. Sometimes they know each other, sometimes they don’t. Sometimes they’ve worked together in the past, sometimes they haven’t. What they do know is that every performance will be unique –   it’s improvised, it will only ever happen once. What they don’t know is how their spontaneous performances on stage will be, but they are excited to go on the  journey and to let whatever happens happen…

Come experience creativity unfolding in real time, in real life and stick around for some drinks and snacks after the show!

Ausverkauf – alles muss raus | OLDSCHOOL

Ausverkauf – alles muss raus | OLDSCHOOL

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.
