“DIS_SYLPHIDE” acts like an intervention in the history of dance, confronting it with questions on normativity and authenticity of bodies in dance from the point of view of people with and without learning disabilities. For more than 20 years, choreographer and cultural activist Saša Asentić is combining his choreographic practice and his work with people with learning disabilities.

Experience encounters youthful exuberance. Assumed serenity is questioned with curiosity. The collaborative work of the artist collective La Macana (Caterina Varela and Alexis Fernández) with the choreographer Samir Akika, resident choreographer at Theater Bremen, deals with the not always uncomplicated relationship between the generations.
Bodies that are made up of many fall to pieces, break down into their individual parts and push themselves back together again. With “Reflection”, Berlin-based choreographer Isabelle Schad concludes her five-year choreographic project on collective bodies.
Ginevra Panzetti and Enrico Ticconi have been working as a duo in Berlin since 2008. In their work they combine dance, performance and visual arts. Their main focus is on the historical connection between communication, violence and power and they create hybrid characters and images that are situated somewhere between (theater) history and contemporaneity.

“COEXIST”, created by the Ensemble Unusual Symptoms of Theater Bremen, discloses an equally insidious and merciless view on the political and social definitions in which our bodies move and by which they are shaped and influenced.

The Berlin-based choreographer and dancer Jule Flierl created “Störlaut”, a futuristic speculative re-interpretation of the sound dances coined by grotesque dancer Valeska Gert in the 1920s. What has the use of voice changed in the representation and perception of dancers' bodies?

How can dance capture something that is constantly shifting? This solo was created by choreographer and dancer Kat Válastur in collaboration with performer Enrico Ticconi and visual artist Leon Eixenberger. They developed an abstract environment in which a figure can be found which is transforming constantly.
In kaleidoscopic scenes, “Unstern” illuminates the very moment before catastrophe strikes; it is a blend of violence, nationalist propaganda, incipient battle cries, machismo and insecurity. In a wide, empty space, Munich-based choreographer and dancer Moritz Ostruschnjak evokes a dismal and threatening atmosphere.
