In the organizer's words:

betwixt. unveiling the medieval thread to techno

The Middle Ages - and techno. They're crazy! Yes, they are spinning - a thread that links the two. The artists of the collective falsch gmbh interweave contemporary dance, acoustic cello and electronic music to create a unique format in two parts: A fast-paced and energetic stage performance is followed by a participatory dance party.

Based on secular music and paintings from the late Middle Ages, a completely unique musical aesthetic and formal dance language unfolds, which is increasingly spun into an electronic set as the piece progresses. The name betwixt says it all: the Old English word for 'between' directs the focus between times, between spaces, between people. The dancers and musicians create a mysterious setting that oscillates between enigmatic rituals and debauched club nights, in which power and powerlessness, control and loss of control, sensuality and vulnerability are negotiated with relish. In the end, Kapelle99 is transformed into a communal sound, image and dance floor and invites all those present to move themselves and each other.

The Middle Ages - and techno. Interweaving contemporary dance, acoustic cello, and electronic music, the artists of the collective falsch gmbh present a unique two-part format: a fast-paced, dynamic stage performance followed by a participatory dance party.

Drawing on secular music and paintings from the late Middle Ages, the piece develops its own musical aesthetic and choreographic language. This collaboration is progressively spun out into a medievally-inspired-electronic set as the performance unfolds. The name betwixt is all-encompassing: the Old English word for "between" shifts the focus between times, between spaces, between people. The dancers and musicians conjure up a mysterious scene that oscillates between enigmatic rituals and a wild club night - in which power and powerlessness, control and abandonment, sensuality and vulnerability, are playfully explored. Kapelle99 transforms into a communal space of sound, image, and dance, inviting everyone present to move and let themselves be moved.
