DIE LANGE SOCIE-NACHT
Even in our festival month, which revolves around the many female perspectives on our world, there is again a Lange Socie-Nacht. Artists are involved who deal with the theme of woman* in the broadest sense.
METAL ON SKIN
Sophie Hauenherm
A dance piece about how our consciousness makes us believe we are isolated, while in truth we are part of a larger, inseparable context. Often, we find ourselves trapped in a machine of repeated thoughts and routines. The goal is to break through this illusion and find true freedom in a deeper connection with the world, ourselves, and the people around us.
JOHN KLEIN: ABOUT WOMEN; INTERVIEWS
Anne Klein
Anne Klein talks about women who have influenced her life. Anne asks questions and answers them herself. At least at the beginning... The audience becomes part of the performance.
SECOND THOUGHTS
Miller de Nobili
This reinterpretation of Miller de Nobili's full-length work "There was still time" blends elements of ballet and contemporary dance. The dancers Liam Meier and Fabienne Deesker await in this choreography by Maria Chiara de’ Nobili and Alexander Miller. Thematically, it revolves around waiting: How does dance convey the tension between absence and presence, emptiness and chaos?
JOHN CAGE – SOLO FOR VOICE 52
Julia Böhme
John Cage is considered one of the most influential composers of the 20th century worldwide. He was an avant-gardist of his time, providing significant impulses for new improvisational music. The aria sung by Julia Böhme consists of ten different singing styles and vowels, consonants, or words from five different languages and sounds. The notation leads to it never sounding the same twice.
PERFORMANCE
Moriana Krause and Thu Trang Sauer
A musical collage of flute and violin that connects the past and the present – a journey through three styles rooted in the history of South America. The Candombe, shaped by the power of African rhythms, tells of times of oppression and resistance. The drums call and respond, their sounds carry freedom and community within them. From these rhythms, the Milonga emerges, a style that makes the longing for home and the melancholy of distance palpable. Finally, the path leads to the city where Tango originates – a passionate, powerful, and emotional dance that unites sensuality, love, but also nostalgia and pain.
MAWWAL
Rahma Ben Fredj
Maryam, a pregnant refugee woman, stands at the Serbian border, waiting for her chance to get to Germany, like thousands of others fleeing tyranny and murder. She struggles with cold and hunger. All the while, Maryam talks to her fetus, encouraging it to be patient and resist so that it does not come into the world before they are both safe. The Mawwal is a solo vocal improvisation based on a colloquial poem in an Egyptian, Lebanese, Syrian, or Iraqi dialect.
