Things falling

In the organizer's words:

Things Falling is a work of contemporary dance theater that works at the intersection of queer expression, theater and diversity.
It tells of the inscription of memory in the body: traces of vigilance, impact and war - scars that are also manipulations that shape identity and open up questions: What changes us? How does it reverberate in our bodies?

The piece examines the indissoluble connection between body, memory and identity. Every conflict leaves its mark, every resonance is carried on. The battle has changed its form: It no longer unfolds its power solely on the battlefield, but also in the space of technologies. But its effect on the body and identity remains.

The sounds of war are the same through all eras - because terror speaks only one language.

Who is the play for?

The play is aimed at a broad audience and is open to all viewers aged 15 and over. People from the LGBTQIA+ community, migrants, BIPoC, people with and without disabilities and anyone who wants to learn about different perspectives on our world today are particularly welcome. The piece also appeals to people who are interested in political issues in which the body is both affected and acts as a motor for answers and new forms of aesthetic expression.

About the artists

THE GARDEN - performing arts embodies contemporary dance theater in all its diversity and reflects the different facets of human life. The starting point is the conviction that artistic work can be a space in which experiences, identities and perspectives come together. The aim is to develop new aesthetic forms that question and dissolve boundaries - not only within dance, but also beyond it. The Garden thus sees itself as a platform that combines movement, theater and social issues and is constantly looking for ways to expand existing notions of art and physicality.
