Still More

In the organizer's words:

With "Still More", Anja Kozik, together with three dancers, a pole artist, an actress and two musicians on stage, explores the feeling of self-empowerment. Together they form a synonym for power and strength.

The performers appear both Amazon-like and fragile at the same time, bringing their own experiences, impulses and emotions with them. The starting point for "Still More" is, among other things, the tragic figure of Ophelia in Shakespeare's Hamlet. However, Ophelia breaks out of the Hamlet narrative in the performance. She breaks her shackles, destroys everything that has constricted her in order to free herself and find herself. She dissolves her old self in order to reinvent herself.

Anja Kozik repeatedly draws connections to the past and the present and refers to well-known works of literature and art history. A central point of the stage is a large table reminiscent of Leonardo Da Vinci's Last Supper. The only difference is that the table is rewritten here: there is neither wine nor bread, but fruit. A new central perspective. Fruit as a symbol of sensuality, femininity, power, peace and beauty. An ecstatic outburst.

The performance "Still More" is accompanied and supported by contemporary lyrical texts that deal with longing and emotional emptiness. Texts that confront us with our society today. A society that is caught in the spiral of the fatigue pandemic and in which emotional emptiness continues to spread. A society that feels more and more like it is searching. What unites us all, however, is the longing and need for love and self-determination.

The stage is transformed into a creative playground. There is dancing and flying. The performer on the pole and Kate Tempest's lyrics merge into one body. The music is powerful and energetic, but also atmospheric and playful at the same time. Visual accents are set by AI-generated videos, an uncontrollable being.

Still More is a feast for the senses and a meeting of different disciplines. Text, image, music and body merge into a unity and are translated into movement. A community that sets the impulses of our time and, according to Anja Kozik, things can get a little wild.
