Alina Arshi | States of bewilderment

In the organizer's words:

A tension-filled work that explores the relationship between bodies in the interplay of vulnerability, irritation and power.

As if pulling on the thread of a ball of wool, "States of bewilderment" constantly produces new systems from others. Choreographer Alina Arshi already caused a sensation with her Bachelor's degree piece "Entepfuhl" and toured Europe with it. Together with dancer Juliette Uzor, she creates a space under high tension in her new work: between isolation and extreme closeness, immobility and intense expression and with the compelling authority of nudity, a performance is created that shakes up common notions of strength and weakness, madness and survival, agency and obligation.

Together with dancer Juliette Uzor, the choreographer Alina Arshi creates a space filled with tension: between isolation and extreme closeness, immobility and intense expression, and with compelling authority of nudity, a performance emerges, in which notions of strength and weakness, madness and survival, agency and obligation, malice and lostness are put to the test.
