Tomaž Simatović & András Meszerics
Meditations #1: An (ir)relevant audio-somatic retreat, 
Performative Workshop, 80'

Taking a walk into a city we seek hidden sounds in the midst of the public movement. We notice obsolete objects laying on the ground. Hidden behind the many layers of the social fabric.

 

The project MEDITATIONS deals with obsoleteness, human and inhuman. It takes us on a journey through a series of intimate indoor and outdoor audio-somatic treatments, exploring “otherness”.

 

Tomaž and András will share their practice in form of a three-day performative workshop. Each day a different audio-somatic treatment will be practiced in a small group setting, inviting us to participate as givers, receivers or witnesses of a “collective bodywork”.

Cie BitterSweet / Perle Cayron Under Construction

 Performance, 20' 

In a world dominated by industrial norms, two women grasp their tools. Bound by safety harnesses, they confront human connections. Navigating the delicate dance of imbalance, they defy gravity’s grip, their movements becoming a testament to their thirst for freedom.
 
 
 
Concept & Choreography Perle Cayron
Dancers Perle Cayron, Kim Ceysens
Co-production Hier&Jetzt

 

The company BitterSweet started its activity in February 2021 with Perle Cayron's duet Jamais je n'oublie. This is followed by tours in Europe. Since 2023 the company is based in Paris and Salzburg. Another new research project saw light in Munich as part of the Hier&Jetzt festival, which questions gravity and the situation of women in the industry. This project named Under Construction will be unveiled amidst the backdrop of the Olympic Games 2024 set to grace the region of Saint Quentin en Yvelines.

 dance, 30'
audience limited to 6 persons

You are part of the audience. One of six people. You're not sitting, you're lying on your back, head resting on a cushion. Black above you. Music and sounds around you, you are in the centre of it all. The dancer’s body above you is close enough to touch and yet so far away, separated by an invisible glass ceiling, floating, weightless. Then suddenly your face meets the body. Very close. The gaze falls into your eyes. Who is looking at whom, who is exposed to whom?
