There is a pick-up service for blind and visually impaired people from the Michaelshoven train station. Due to limited space availability, please register for the audio description at 0157 57930117 or karten@ip-tanz.com

There will also be a physical-somatic introduction 45 minutes before each performance. After the performance, the artists will be available for discussions.

An immersive experience: dance meets walk-in installation. Together with the Cologne-based artist miegL, an atmospheric, changeable, pneumatic landscape is created through which the audience moves freely - including a change of perspective.

In this walk-in installation, performers and audience share the stage space. A body of air pulsates, movement fragments into voices, skin and stories. What remains when places or rituals disappear, when the body becomes an archive of muscles, breath and scars in the pulse of the space. The room - sometimes a tent, sometimes a bubble, sometimes a ruin. See through other eyes, hear forgotten voices, be part of a fictional world that grows, turns, eludes and not only wants to be seen, but also felt, heard and experienced.

In an interdisciplinary setting with a pneumatic stage set, four dancers create a fantasy of a new present that is already past and thus part of our memory. The body as archive, ritual and the dissolution of security in a group context are central themes. Interviews with people from different backgrounds and generations are incorporated into the work.
