HANNAH SHAKTI BÜHLER mit CHARLOTTE SIMON

A DANCE CONCERT BETWEEN OBSESSION, HYSTERIA, HUMOR AND PROTEST​​​​​​​​​​

​

The piece reflects and embodies dance as both a medium for liberation and ecstasy as well as a medium for disciplining the body. The work describes a journey through time that, under the term “Choreomaniacs”, recalls and connects the dancing bodies of the medieval dancing plagues with the waltzing bodies of the 18th century and revisits them with a contemporary, humorous and post-feminist perspective. A dance concert, where the audience becomes part of a liberation ritual in which the archaic is combined with the digital. A ritual between order and disorder in which the body becomes both organic matter and machine; between obsession, hysteria, humor and resistance.
