CHOREIA - ein Polyballett - CocoonDance
In the organizer's words:
CHOREIA
Start 20:30 - practical introduction at 20:00
CocoonDance invite you to experience the space between stage and audience in a new way. The Greek word "choreia" refers to the equal practice of song, speech and dance in a choir - a tradition to which the piece "Polyballet" refers. Here, choral bodies, sounds and movements, inspired by folklore, ballet and ancient comedy, unfold into a polyphonic network that makes rigid boundaries permeable.
The Bonn-based company is not interested in the harmony and unity of the community of the choir, but in its differences - in the friction, the drifting apart, the juxtaposition of voices and movements from which a different form of togetherness can emerge.
Following the practice of the ancient choir, in which singing, speech and movement were inseparably linked, dance is no longer understood here as a silent embodiment: The voice returns. Not as communication, but as a vibrating gesture - as touch at a distance, as an echo of the utopia of a different togetherness that reminds us of the power of the common in times of isolation.
CocoonDance is one of the most successful dance companies in Germany: the Faust Prize, invitation to the Dance Platform, top funding from the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Doppelpass-Plus funding from the Federal Cultural Foundation rightly reward the artistic quality of the work of choreographer Rafaële Giovanola and dramaturge Rainald Endraß, who have been working together since 2000 and have regularly brought their art to the stage with us for 10 years.
