9 October

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?

Editta Braun and her team of artists create distinctive dance pieces that are consistently committed to an expressive, theatrical style, always interwoven with a decidedly socio-critical commitment. editta braun company has performed at renowned festivals in Europe, Africa and Asia. The intense and unifying experiences of travelling together flow into the production process and surround the performers with a special aura and strength. A large part of their distinctiveness is based on Thierry Zaboitzeff's compositions, which, despite their diversity, contribute a specific and recognisable colour.

Hungry Sharks Company Destination FCKD45’

45'

Destination FCKD explores the phenomenon of “Non-Playable Characters” (NPCs) as an analog answer to human-like imitations in digital worlds. Negotiating their connection, the performers investigate physical and philosophical aspects of background characters, extras and NPCs in a surreal movement landscape.

The dance company Hungry Sharks was founded in 2011 by choreographer Valentin Alfery and photographer/creative producer Dušana Baltić and has been constantly evolving under their co-direction since then. Through changing formats, locations and constellations, they regularly create pieces for the stage and site-specific spaces that are characterised by a high degree of physicality, a strong visual level, the addressing of social issues and a conceptual-choreographic approach.
