Lightness is an attitude that is aware of its own power and nourishes it by staying in motion. “On the Fly” describes a way of life without solid ground beneath the feet, full of highs and potential falls, without autopilot, but with full trust in the team.

Together with dancers Stavros Apostolatos, Neve Arbel, Yu-Yuan Huang, Nikos Grigoriadis, and Hsin-I Huang, choreographer Jai Gonzales ventures into the open, overcomes gravity, encounters headwinds, and recognizes tailwinds. Boundaries are crossed to grasp concrete possibilities and create something new in the seemingly infinite expanse.

The pieces of the UnterwegsTheater are lived utopias, openly and simultaneously focused on the essentials, arising from work processes where reflection is always connected with doing.

In 1988, dancer Jai Gonzales and trained acrobat Bernhard Fauser didn't spend long searching for favorable starting conditions but began with dance pieces that gained international recognition and the expansion of a rehearsal stage where some choreographers, now active worldwide, presented their first works. An international network grew, and the entire city was repeatedly engaged with ARTORT in public spaces. Numerous collaborations followed, including in 2012 the merger with the city theater as TANZAllianz, which made Heidelberg a recognized dance city across Germany.
