Tanzwerke Vanek Preuß: POLARIS

In the organizer's words:

In her new piece Polaris, which continues the BIASED trilogy, Tanzwerke Vanek Preuß explores the topic of polarization through the seismograph of the body:
It is about the blinded human being - that is, about all of us - and the phenomenon that public life, language, values and manners now largely only take place in delimited communities that confirm themselves. Constructive controversy, lively debate and the diversity of both/and seem to be disappearing. On the other hand, an increased black-and-white thinking can be observed.
POLARIS uses the means of contemporary dance to examine how the current zeitgeist is reflected in our bodies. What constitutes flaring, impotent rage in a so-called multi-crisis? How does the constant exaggeration in the media with its hypes, fakes and tendency towards extreme emotionalization change bodies and souls? What are the effects of a loss of empathy combined with growing mass vulnerability?

Sat, 29.11., 7 pm: Physical Introduction
Move, feel, experience! At the Physical Introduction, you become active yourself - 30 to 45 minutes full of movement, relaxation and new perceptions. Feel dance in your own body and sensitize yourself for the upcoming piece. No previous knowledge necessary - just try it out!
