Dance performance WITH US (Silke Z., Die Metabolisten) | Germany
2023/08/17 • 19:00 - 19:45
€10The performance will feature two parts of the trilogy: part 1: Karel (65) meets David (25) and part 2: Karel (65) meets Hanna (27).
In WITH US, the three dancing bodies of different ages become landscapes that are relentlessly open and surveyed with a radical eye for all details in order to uncover the information they harbour.
WITH US vividly shows how the bodies and the landmarks attached to them provide information about their owners without being asked and divide them into categories such as disabled, old, privileged. Characteristics such as skin colour, wrinkles, scars, facial features, pigmentation or hair structure become landmarks on the map of social standardisation.
The dance and performative measurement takes place between two generations that rarely encounter each other so directly and physically. MIT UNS creates an intergenerational questioning and encounter in which eye level and categories such as age, disability and skin colour are negotiated. Prejudices, privileges and visibility are negotiated through play and reflected with great political relevance.
