About Habrá Que Ponerse Cachas
Habrá Que Ponerse Cachas (HQPC) is a playful and powerful inclusive dance-theater piece. It is a game of meaning, nonsense, charm, and ingenuity. Flying ideas from a song by Bob Dylan in a movie. The family in the film, the roles of the two brothers. How do relations between siblings change over time, from childhood to adolescence to adulthood. What brings us closer to our siblings? What separates us from them? How is family part of our identity? What drives us away from it?

These flying ideas become a celebration of movement. Maylis Arrabit, Artistic Director, worked for more than a year in collaboration with the dancers Xabier Madina and Ebi Soria. This process reflects her vision of creation in inclusive dance. The disabled and non-disabled dancers are equals in the creation of movement. Each has their place in it. HQPC has been touring nationally and internationally since 2018.

More than the technicality and the physicality of the dancing, what artistically makes sense to me in this dance piece is to tell a story and find the quality of movement in simplicity, uniqueness, complicity, wittiness and, above all, the small details that make all the difference and virtuosity. – Maylis Arrabit, Artistic Director​

The choreography of Máté Mészáros titled Mechanics of Distance took another form during the time of the pandemic. It started off as a plan B to be able to share the work while spaces are closed, gatherings are prohibited, whilst preserving the physical experience of arts. He developed a participative walk to enact nine stages of the choreography. The series of movements and constellations of the piece have been translated into nine pictograms, drawn by a Hungarian visual artist.

The participants can follow a route – on their own or together – and can recreate the movements, become dancers themselves, get familiar with the collaboration of moving bodies thus stepping into a quasi-performative role from that of a viewer.

About Idiot-Syncrasy
Idiot-Syncrasy by Igor & Moreno (Italy) is a new collaboration which sprang from the networking activities of Perform Europe. It kicks off Aerowaves Classics within the Springback Ringside catalogue. Idiot-Syncrasy was first presented by Aerowaves in 2015.

In the piece, Igor and Moreno started with wanting to change the world with a performance. They felt like idiots. Then they danced a lot. They jumped. They called on the folk traditions of Sardinia and the Basque Country. They sang. They jumped some more. They committed. Now they promise to stick together. They promise to persevere. They promise to do their best.

Forum An der Loge 5 27305 Bruchhausen Vilsen

About World without Eyes
See the world with hand and heart. Feel dance by breathing and touching. Keep distance by holding and embracing.

An interactive dance performance-research for diverse sighted (blind and partially-sighted) children of 1-6 years, World without Eyes invites young audiences to become active participants and, together with two dancers, explore the world around them through movement and movement only. Dansema Dance Theater seeks genuine inclusion with their audiences who may also be d/deaf and/or neurodivergent and proposes the idea that all people are different in their abilities and should be recognised as such, regardless of the origin of differences – genetic, inherited by birth, acquired by trauma, etc.

The performance is constructed to allow children audiences to join the exploration of the dancers’ movements, costumes, and scenery whenever they feel ready to. They can stay in the process as long as they wish and leave the action when they feel they need to. Dance in this project is presented through touching and sensing movement vibrations instead of hearing instructions or descriptions. Dansema Dance Theater believes that dance, as a non-verbal communication and expression form, should be perceived and expressed nonverbally.

With the financial support of the Lithuanian Council for Culture

About World without Eyes
See the world with hand and heart. Feel dance by breathing and touching. Keep distance by holding and embracing.

An interactive dance performance-research for diverse sighted (blind and partially-sighted) children of 1-6 years, World without Eyes invites young audiences to become active participants and, together with two dancers, explore the world around them through movement and movement only. Dansema Dance Theater seeks genuine inclusion with their audiences who may also be d/deaf and/or neurodivergent and proposes the idea that all people are different in their abilities and should be recognised as such, regardless of the origin of differences – genetic, inherited by birth, acquired by trauma, etc.

The performance is constructed to allow children audiences to join the exploration of the dancers’ movements, costumes, and scenery whenever they feel ready to. They can stay in the process as long as they wish and leave the action when they feel they need to. Dance in this project is presented through touching and sensing movement vibrations instead of hearing instructions or descriptions. Dansema Dance Theater believes that dance, as a non-verbal communication and expression form, should be perceived and expressed nonverbally.

With the financial support of the Lithuanian Council for Culture

About MASTERWORK
Cultural references and whimsical movement are at the core of Emese Cuhorka & Csaba Molnár’s duet MASTERWORK. Unfolding through a set of vignettes, the piece explores ways in which the body sheds cultural meanings and symbols projected upon it over the course of time. By using objects as costumes that block movement, the body reshapes its autonomy in a flurry of functional obstructions.

Each and every body is a masterpiece in its own right, created by the self and the environment. By modifying the body, Cuhorka and Molnár manipulate the surroundings and summon the freedom to redefine.

About Idiot-Syncrasy
Idiot-Syncrasy by Igor & Moreno (Italy) is a new collaboration which sprang from the networking activities of Perform Europe. It kicks off Aerowaves Classics within the Springback Ringside catalogue. Idiot-Syncrasy was first presented by Aerowaves in 2015.

In the piece, Igor and Moreno started with wanting to change the world with a performance. They felt like idiots. Then they danced a lot. They jumped. They called on the folk traditions of Sardinia and the Basque Country. They sang. They jumped some more. They committed. Now they promise to stick together. They promise to persevere. They promise to do their best.

About Babae
Inspired by Mary Wigman’s Witch Dance, a “masterpiece of strangeness” as Judith MacKrell put it, Joy Alpuerto Ritter examines inherited dance vocabularies to embody her own witch character. Bringing together her roots in Philippine folk and classical dance with movements from hip hop and voguing; she reimagines what it means to summon the power and mystical practices of a female dancer as a witch. BABAE, which means ‘woman’ in Tagalog (Philippine language), is a one-woman dialogue between the animalistic and sensual qualities of ritual and power.

Habitat
In Habitat by Doris Uhlich, naked bodies flick, vibrate, and slap against each other to electronic sounds and abstract techno tracks. The performers celebrate their unity in diversity. As individuals and as a crowd at the same time, they conquer the space in a choreography that is captivating, highly energetic and, at times, collectively reposing. The space is transformed into a “habitat” full of unexpected life forms – the audience moves about freely in the available space.

Habitat transcends conventional ideas of the body, of dance, and of nakedness in a subversive manner. Habitat is a utopia. A shameless but also a free-of-shame hymn to a naked body beyond cultural inscriptions and conventional ideals of beauty. The body is not devalued to the level of a fetish, an object; and carnality is neither metaphorically nor poetically ideologised but understood in a material sense, and is therefore presented in all its mass and weight yet also in its fragility.

About this Perform Europe project
These presentations are happening as part of the Perform Europe project Habitat: Europe - Large Scale, Small Footprint.

In each location, the project will engage a vast and diverse group of local participants around Habitat by Doris Uhlich, an artistic work where naked bodies flick, vibrate, and slap against each other to electronic sounds and abstract techno tracks. These local individuals will collectively form the heart of the work, creating a unique picture of the people residing in each location. The project will not involve freight or other carbon-intensive travel methods.

Address
This presentation will only happen digitally.

The Polarity Party
The Polarity Party is an immersive, participative event on polarisation, created by the MichaelDouglas Kollektiv (Germany) in collaboration with conflict specialist Dana Caspersen (USA).

During the event, participants step into a field of action where choreography and conflict engagement meet. There is no performance and no spectators; instead simple actions such as walking, sitting, and talking become tools for reflections and interaction. The hosts/creators of the project are dance artists who act as guides as participants move through a series of carefully crafted, action-based situations and configurations. Participants are invited to consider the questions: What is polarisation? What does it do in us? What do we do with it?

The Polarity Party offers a situation where we can focus on the mechanism of polarisation itself and our role in it. Each event may be followed by masterclasses for artists and/or for justice professionals. Workshops focus on the process of creating participatory events that integrate practices from conflict engagement and choreography. They are accessible for all and do not require any physical skill. The methodologies covered are applicable in fields ranging from social work and mediation, to business and education, to the arts and public dialogue.

About Babae
Inspired by Mary Wigman’s Witch Dance, a “masterpiece of strangeness” as Judith MacKrell put it, Joy Alpuerto Ritter examines inherited dance vocabularies to embody her own witch character. Bringing together her roots in Philippine folk and classical dance with movements from hip hop and voguing; she reimagines what it means to summon the power and mystical practices of a female dancer as a witch. BABAE, which means ‘woman’ in Tagalog (Philippine language), is a one-woman dialogue between the animalistic and sensual qualities of ritual and power.

About Idiot-Syncrasy
Idiot-Syncrasy by Igor & Moreno (Italy) is a new collaboration which sprang from the networking activities of Perform Europe. It kicks off Aerowaves Classics within the Springback Ringside catalogue. Idiot-Syncrasy was first presented by Aerowaves in 2015.

In the piece, Igor and Moreno started with wanting to change the world with a performance. They felt like idiots. Then they danced a lot. They jumped. They called on the folk traditions of Sardinia and the Basque Country. They sang. They jumped some more. They committed. Now they promise to stick together. They promise to persevere. They promise to do their best.

About To Those Born Later
To Those Born Later (International Collection) is an interactive online event, which brings together groups from different countries to discuss what should go into a time capsule to be opened in 150 years. What do you want to save for our children’s children’s children’s children? What do you want to pass down to future inhabitants of the world?

Join Uninvited Guests and Fuel in preserving something of you, your community and culture, for those who are yet to be born. Every show will be different, made with and for its audience. The content of the time capsule is chosen by those in each meeting and added to a growing online archive. Covid and the climate crisis have made us more conscious of how we live in one world and how our problems and our dreams for the future need to be looked at on an international basis. In response to this unique moment in history, To Those Born Later (International Collection) will bring geographically distant people together for live connection and debate, about our legacy and what matters. The aim is to enable exchanges between people in different cities and countries, around what personal objects should be passed down and what from our cultures we should take care of.

About this Perform Europe project
These presentations are happening as part of the Perform Europe project Performing Futures - Uninvited Guests’ “Billennium” and “To Those Born Later”.

The two artistic works in this project both reflect on the present through the future and use technologies to enable participation. The project will test two new approaches to international touring: Billennium explores deeper engagement with communities, leading to a work that is re-made with and for specific neighbourhoods and shown outside in public spaces; To Those Born Later engages local audiences without travelling, facilitating meaningful exchanges across these European contexts.

About Billennium
Billennium is a theatrical guided tour, not of historic sites, but of a city’s futures, on which you walk through time to the locations of utopian and dystopian science fictions. Future architecture appears before your eyes, and you hear what different worlds might sound like. Accompanied by archaeologists of the future, you carry mobile devices that interpret and visualise traces of what’s to come. The tour concludes with an opportunity to design tomorrow’s city together and see the buildings you imagine layered onto the architecture of today using AR (augmented reality). Livestreamed, multichannel audio immerses you in sci-fi location sounds and speculative architecture is drawn in real-time over the existing buildings.

Billennium is different every time it is performed, re-made uniquely for specific places. It continues Uninvited Guests’ exploration of how technologies can facilitate the co-creation of performance with participating audiences, who are invited to share in the work’s authorship, shape its outcome, and do some social dreaming together. Utopian and dystopian thinking are used as critical tools, enabling participants to reflect on local changes or plans for redevelopment and to imagine preferred futures.

Made with creative technologists Michele Pannegrossi and Luca Biada (Fenyce) and animator Sam Steer. Originally commissioned by Watershed Media Centre and University of Bristol’s Smart Internet Lab, for their Layered Realities Platform, 2018.

About Habrá Que Ponerse Cachas
Habrá Que Ponerse Cachas (HQPC) is a playful and powerful inclusive dance-theater piece. It is a game of meaning, nonsense, charm, and ingenuity. Flying ideas from a song by Bob Dylan in a movie. The family in the film, the roles of the two brothers. How do relations between siblings change over time, from childhood to adolescence to adulthood. What brings us closer to our siblings? What separates us from them? How is family part of our identity? What drives us away from it?

These flying ideas become a celebration of movement. Maylis Arrabit, Artistic Director, worked for more than a year in collaboration with the dancers Xabier Madina and Ebi Soria. This process reflects her vision of creation in inclusive dance. The disabled and non-disabled dancers are equals in the creation of movement. Each has their place in it. HQPC has been touring nationally and internationally since 2018.

More than the technicality and the physicality of the dancing, what artistically makes sense to me in this dance piece is to tell a story and find the quality of movement in simplicity, uniqueness, complicity, wittiness and, above all, the small details that make all the difference and virtuosity. – Maylis Arrabit, Artistic Director​

The choreography of Máté Mészáros titled Mechanics of Distance took another form during the time of the pandemic. It started off as a plan B to be able to share the work while spaces are closed, gatherings are prohibited, whilst preserving the physical experience of arts. He developed a participative walk to enact nine stages of the choreography. The series of movements and constellations of the piece have been translated into nine pictograms, drawn by a Hungarian visual artist.

The participants can follow a route – on their own or together – and can recreate the movements, become dancers themselves, get familiar with the collaboration of moving bodies thus stepping into a quasi-performative role from that of a viewer.

About this Perform Europe project
These presentations are happening as part of the Perform Europe project Step by step - Wheel by wheel.

About Habrá Que Ponerse Cachas
Habrá Que Ponerse Cachas (HQPC) is a playful and powerful inclusive dance-theater piece. It is a game of meaning, nonsense, charm, and ingenuity. Flying ideas from a song by Bob Dylan in a movie. The family in the film, the roles of the two brothers. How do relations between siblings change over time, from childhood to adolescence to adulthood. What brings us closer to our siblings? What separates us from them? How is family part of our identity? What drives us away from it?

These flying ideas become a celebration of movement. Maylis Arrabit, Artistic Director, worked for more than a year in collaboration with the dancers Xabier Madina and Ebi Soria. This process reflects her vision of creation in inclusive dance. The disabled and non-disabled dancers are equals in the creation of movement. Each has their place in it. HQPC has been touring nationally and internationally since 2018.

More than the technicality and the physicality of the dancing, what artistically makes sense to me in this dance piece is to tell a story and find the quality of movement in simplicity, uniqueness, complicity, wittiness and, above all, the small details that make all the difference and virtuosity. – Maylis Arrabit, Artistic Director​

The choreography of Máté Mészáros titled Mechanics of Distance took another form during the time of the pandemic. It started off as a plan B to be able to share the work while spaces are closed, gatherings are prohibited, whilst preserving the physical experience of arts. He developed a participative walk to enact nine stages of the choreography. The series of movements and constellations of the piece have been translated into nine pictograms, drawn by a Hungarian visual artist.

The participants can follow a route – on their own or together – and can recreate the movements, become dancers themselves, get familiar with the collaboration of moving bodies thus stepping into a quasi-performative role from that of a viewer.

About Mechanics of Distance
Mechanics of Distance focuses on positioning static and moving bodies in space, cramming matching and mismatched systems into it, and examining the distance between bodies. The piece presents encounter-variations of bodies in space stimulating free interpretation. Episodic events drawn from social and personal contexts represent emotional, moral, or intellectual situations.

In the choreography, the direct, tangible togetherness and closeness meet a more elevated, solemn dimension. Supplemented by a more political dimension with the aim of finding an answer to the question of how far the limits of dance can be extended, what are the endless dimensions of experimentation and the open space waiting to be explored? The performers from three very different backgrounds (a classically trained ballet dancer, a dancer with a folk dance background and a dancer trained with contemporary techniques) and the musician interfere with each other’s personal spaces, the space around them and that of the viewers.

The choreography of Máté Mészáros titled Mechanics of Distance took another form during the time of the pandemic. It started off as a plan B to be able to share the work while spaces are closed, gatherings are prohibited, whilst preserving the physical experience of arts.

About Embodied Temporalities
Under the artistic direction of Madhumita Nandi, Embodied Temporalities includes two touring projects:

Ilk
Ilk tracks the roots of tolerated queer practices that go back centuries in Arabic and Muslim societies, basing the performance on 13th century manuscripts, bridging it to all the erasure of modern times, and understanding how queer Arab and Muslim identity can emerge from reclaiming times where queerness and homosexuality were accepted, tolerated and studied. It aims for a queer Arab Muslim futuristic vision, that starts with healing through rewriting histories. The social artist and dance movement therapist Ahmad Hijazi practices critical collective workshops and emphasises empowerment of bodies of colour and queer affirmative care.

Ancestral Body Noise
Ancestral Body Noise is a project linking individuals with their own ancestral technology, embodied memory in performance practice, activism and cultural work. These are explorations of how culture, inheritance and archival of rituals in the body continue to transform themselves over time. They continue to open the process to the public, negotiating concepts of home, and the (re)construction of ritual for radical empathy in their political and psycho-spiritual practice. Future-folk musician and life-long psycho-spiritual student Gugulethu ‘Dumama’ Duma takes poetry, movement and sounds as tools of social transformation and healing to migrant communities.

About Ilk
Ilk tracks the roots of tolerated queer practices that go back centuries in Arabic and Muslim societies, basing the performance on 13th century manuscripts, bridging it to all the erasure of modern times, and understanding how queer Arab and Muslim identity can emerge from reclaiming times where queerness and homosexuality were accepted, tolerated and studied. It aims for a queer Arab Muslim futuristic vision, that starts with healing through rewriting histories. The social artist and dance movement therapist Ahmad Hijazi practices critical collective workshops and emphasises empowerment of bodies of colour and queer affirmative care.

About Cities By Night
Cities by Night is an ongoing site-specific, participatory project dealing with women’s perception of danger in the urban environment. Women from different ethnicities, age and backgrounds, are invited to explore the streets of their own city, wandering alone when the sun sets, avoiding to cross the areas where they feel uncomfortable. In doing so, they subjectively rewrite the topography of the city, drawing new borders, which are not merely geographical but physical, emotional, and political.

Although the explored city is the same, each woman’s map is different, showing eventually the biases behind our notion of danger and how shared beliefs, social belonging and cultural background contribute to creating the roles of victim and aggressor, unawarely endorsing conservative politics of control through bio-politics. The project results in either a series of maps where the “unsafe areas” are covered with black ink, or in a guided nocturnal walk led by a woman along the border of the “dangerous” zone and meant for one member of the audience at a time. The performative iteration of the project can also happen as a delegated performance, with the artist coordinating remotely the group of participants through the help of a digital app.

About A Little Space
A space where we can escape the world and be ourselves. Where we can say whatever we want, do whatever we feel and where no-one will ever bother us. But it can be an unpredictable space too, where voices are funnelled away, fears leak through the floorboards, songs light up the room and you never know who’s listening behind the door. A place where whispers come to life and one kind gesture could change everything.

Set in an apartment block, A Little Space follows the lives of five people and explores what happens when they connect and disconnect from each other, whether through choice or through isolation. Drawing on the performers’ own experiences, A Little Space uses movement, imagery, sound, and lighting to portray the needs, desires, and fears of the characters. Originally a theatre show, Mind the Gap and Gecko worked with award-winning Newcastle-based Meerkat Films to bring the piece to the screen and promise that audiences can expect ‘an exciting mash-up of theatre and film’. The making of the film was made possible with funding from Arts Council England and The Space.

Additionally, Mind the Gap’s Artistic Director Joyce Lee and two performers from A Little Space will run a live, online workshop on inclusive practice and improvised story-telling to accompany the film.

About World without Eyes
See the world with hand and heart. Feel dance by breathing and touching. Keep distance by holding and embracing.

An interactive dance performance-research for diverse sighted (blind and partially-sighted) children of 1-6 years, World without Eyes invites young audiences to become active participants and, together with two dancers, explore the world around them through movement and movement only. Dansema Dance Theater seeks genuine inclusion with their audiences who may also be d/deaf and/or neurodivergent and proposes the idea that all people are different in their abilities and should be recognised as such, regardless of the origin of differences – genetic, inherited by birth, acquired by trauma, etc.

The performance is constructed to allow children audiences to join the exploration of the dancers’ movements, costumes, and scenery whenever they feel ready to. They can stay in the process as long as they wish and leave the action when they feel they need to. Dance in this project is presented through touching and sensing movement vibrations instead of hearing instructions or descriptions. Dansema Dance Theater believes that dance, as a non-verbal communication and expression form, should be perceived and expressed nonverbally.

With the financial support of the Lithuanian Council for Culture

Address
Kyiv, Ukraine (Full address TBC)

The Body as Reference for (R) Evolution – Biotope
The Biotope is a site-specific piece, an immersive, sculptural durational performance. It is a highly inclusive, collaborative format that can be transferred to various contexts. It can morph naturally by including local artistic input, materials, performers, generating a new identity, without losing its artistic methodology at the core.

Taking all these characteristics into account, as part of this Perform Europe project, the Biotope will be presented as a site-specific, durational performance in every presenting partner city, under the artistic guidance of United Cowboys.

Dates

Presentation 1: 22 May 2022, 20:00 (physical)

From 16 to 21 May 2022 United Cowboys will organise collaborative artistic creation sessions prior to the presentations to co-shape the individual Biotope on location.

Tickets
More information about how to take part in these presentations will be provided shortly.

The Biotope is a site-specific piece, an immersive, sculptural durational performance. In this project, United Cowboys’ Biotope performances will be chained to each other by taking along local artists, selected materials and content from each city to the next, and presenting these in relevant, unconventional locations. The artistic input from each individual partner will be collected on an online platform in the form of a living map.

We Should All Be Dreaming
The possible has been tried and failed. Now it’s time to try the impossible! – Sun Ra

We Should All Be Dreaming is a concept that focuses on the radical potential of dreaming as a restorative and subversive practice. It comes with a straightforward suggestion: we should all be dreaming radical utopian dreams of common futures. Situating itself somewhere between a collective think tank, choreographed gathering, a performance, and a lecture, the project gently invites the participants to spend time together, listen together and dream together.

WSABD is a collaboration between choreographer Sonya Lindfors and writer and activist Maryan Abdulkarim, who are both interested in radical utopian and decolonial practices. The world around us is plagued by fear, anger and hate of the unknown, but WSABD attempts a strategic deviation: it does not only fight against, react to or reveal the grim realities of the surrounding world but instead works as a platform of soft resistance by making space for communal coexistence.

WSABD was premiered in 2018. Concept by Sonya Lindfors and Maryan Abdulkarim. Working group includes Sonya Lindfors, Maryan Abdulkarim, Roy Boswell, Erno Aaltonen, David Muoz, Danai Anagnostou. Pictures by Essi Orpana, Sonya Lindfors Co-producers include Spring Utrecht Festival, Baltic Circle Festival, and the Finnish Cultural Institute for the Benelux.

Cosmic Latte (Film)
Cosmic Latte plays with the idea of an utopian future where present, future and past are present in a boundless, mysterious in-between space. The logic of our thinking has changed, black and white are no longer opposites, but contain one another. The borders are malleable and the meanings mix with each other like liquids. Afrofuturism, contemporary art, West African cosmologies, Sun Ra and Bach coexist on a stage that is porous, diverse, and beige.

Cosmic Latte is a name given by researchers for the average colour of the universe. Cosmic Latte is also the third instalment of Sonya Lindfors’ series of works focusing on blackness.

Date

Screening & artists interactive talk online: 20 March 2022, 12:00 (digital)

The Polarity Party
The Polarity Party is an immersive, participative event on polarisation, created by the MichaelDouglas Kollektiv (Germany) in collaboration with conflict specialist Dana Caspersen (USA).
During the event, participants step into a field of action where choreography and conflict engagement meet. There is no performance and no spectators; instead simple actions such as walking, sitting, and talking become tools for reflections and interaction. The hosts/creators of the project are dance artists who act as guides as participants move through a series of carefully crafted, action-based situations and configurations. Participants are invited to consider the questions: What is polarisation? What does it do in us? What do we do with it?
The Polarity Party offers a situation where we can focus on the mechanism of
polarisation itself and our role in it. Each event may be followed by masterclasses
for artists and/or for justice professionals. Workshops focus on the process of creating participatory events that integrate practices from conflict engagement and choreography. They are accessible for all and do not require any physical skill. The methodologies covered are applicable in fields ranging from social work and mediation, to business and education, to the arts and public dialogue.

Insider: Unwrapping Reality
Insider: Unwrapping Reality by Cristina Maldonado, Eva Rosemarijn, Lea Kukovičič, Keya Singh is a performance for one audience member that navigates between virtual and physical reality. In our daily life, technology enables us to exist simultaneously in multiple places. We are immersed in a continuous negotiation with things, processes, and people that are not physically present. We commonly identify them as a “virtual presence”, as a sort of representation of an original that exists somewhere else. We place this “copy” at a lower level on the scale of reality as it cannot fully affect us. It cannot be touched and therefore cannot be considered truly real.

For some, the virtual world is a place to momentarily escape reality; others fear that it will replace it completely. For the international team of authors led by Cristina Maldonado, there is no conflict between the virtual and real worlds, together they create a continuum of mixed realities. Unfolding the inner space outwards, and the outer space inside is a strategy to unwrap the various layers of reality. The performance is proposing a perceptual laboratory in which the audience members have the space to formulate their questions regarding their position towards reality and reflect on the existential and philosophical dimensions of being present.

About this Perform Europe project
These presentations are happening as part of the Perform Europe project Beyond Touring “Reality Surfing” and “Insider” tour at Tatwerk, Terén and Tranzit Foundation

The aim of this project is to initiate and stabilise relationships between the presenting partners, the artists touring with the artistic works Insider: Unwrapping Reality and Reality Surfing, and local art scenes. The partners believe that the potential to further collaborate together will be strengthened by a better understanding of the context to which they are bringing their work, as well as the interests of local communities before the presentation itself.

Partners: Terén, Center for Experimental Theatre (Czech Republic), Tranzit Foundation (Romania), Tatwerk (Germany)

In our daily life, technology enables us to exist simultaneously in multiple places. We are immersed in a continuous negotiation with things, processes, and people that are not physically present. We commonly identify them as a “virtual presence”, as a sort of representation of an original that exists somewhere else. We place this “copy” at a lower level on the scale of reality as it cannot fully affect us. It cannot be touched and therefore cannot be considered truly real.

For some, the virtual world is a place to momentarily escape reality; others fear that it will replace it completely. For the international team of authors led by Cristina Maldonado, there is no conflict between the virtual and real worlds, together they create a continuum of mixed realities. Unfolding the inner space outwards, and the outer space inside is a strategy to unwrap the various layers of reality. The performance is proposing a perceptual laboratory in which the audience members have the space to formulate their questions regarding their position towards reality and reflect on the existential and philosophical dimensions of being present.

About this Perform Europe project
These presentations are happening as part of the Perform Europe project Beyond Touring “Reality Surfing” and “Insider” tour at Tatwerk, Terén and Tranzit Foundation

The aim of this project is to initiate and stabilise relationships between the presenting partners, the artists touring with the artistic works Insider: Unwrapping Reality and Reality Surfing, and local art scenes. The partners believe that the potential to further collaborate together will be strengthened by a better understanding of the context to which they are bringing their work, as well as the interests of local communities before the presentation itself.

Partners: Terén, Center for Experimental Theatre (Czech Republic), Tranzit Foundation (Romania), Tatwerk (Germany)
