RAPT - eine Zeitgenössische Jonglage Performance

In the organizer's words:

RAPT begins with our problematic relationship to the word “more”, which has brought humanity both knowledge and self-destruction, where it now teeters between ecstatic pleasure and absolute catastrophe. In a world made of paper, performer Benjamin Richter develops a choreographic journey of juggling, dance and clowning that subtly expresses the restless desire for “more”. The paper comes into its own in all its materiality: it flies, falls, piles up again, is draped and juggled. Accompanied by a live sound collage, “RAPT” is not a linear narrative, but a web of encounters: Human and object, abundance and care, fragility and perseverance.

An experimental version of the work will be shown at the Haus der Architektur and the premiere of the entire piece will follow in January 2025 at the Orangerie Theater Cologne.

RAPT is funded by: Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of NRW, NRW Landesbüro Freie Darstellende Künste and Cultural Office of the City of Cologne.
