💥Today is the premiere of:
Close to you (and think of the song)
Tanz X Physical Theatre by Yi-Chun Liu
English Language with German Subtitles
Premiere Mai 4th 2024 | 19:30 | Großes Haus
Time seems to bend at a railway station: While a group of people wait, for a train or perhaps something else, their distinctive lives and stories start to merge and refract. With fascinating attention to detail, as if the choreography were zooming closer to and stretching the time experienced by them, their internal states, memories, hopes and fears are exposed. The contrast between these intimate worlds and the quotidian public setting creates a surreal counterpoint; normally this is a place in which emotions are restrained and hidden, but here ‘the station’ becomes a landscape of expression in unusual and particular ways. Paradoxically this makes us question the nature of this supposed venue of inexpressibility and makes us re-look at our own lives and those around us: how connected we are to others in everyday life even if we aren’t aware of it? Then an outsider arrives to call into question this separation between reality and representation. It is an evening that plays with temporalities, with the alternating between the internal and external and oscillates between surreal comedy and intense tragedy.
