PREMIERE: HNSL/GRTL // performing:group // 28.10.2022 // Theater im Bauturm
“I’m confused. So I will do a confused dance.”
Two versions of a single cell have to find new strategies for old problems. The future is clear: fragmented dances and the same facial expressions over and over. Tick. Tack. Ticketack. We need to look at things from a different perspective. Going sideways helps.
In a parallel universe to the well-known fairy tale about two siblings lost in the woods whose survival depends on the development of communal tactics, performing:group in HNSL/GRTL explores the question of how models of community, empathy or universal kinship can become sustainable pillars of a possible future.
A performance in which the repertoire of non-partnership gestures between two people is illuminated and a tent is also very clumsily erected.
