  MARTIN NACHBAR, GABI DAN DROSTE

  ICH BIN'S, DEINE SCHWESTERN

  No matter whether siblings are inseparable or on bad terms, loving or jealous – they can hardly escape each other. They play together, laugh and cry, quarrel and hurt each other, they help and occasionally annoy one another.

  Upon the invitation of the KinderTheaterHaus in Hanover, the contemporary choreographer Martin Nachbar and the dramaturge Gabi dan Droste developed a dance piece for children on the theme of ‘siblings.’ Along with three performers, they bring different constellations of siblings to the stage. They not only examine how in the interplay of brotherly and sisterly closeness and competition, protection and distance, cooperation and fighting, own identities are formed, but also jointly create a new artistic thumbprint for children.

  Sat 18 June, followed by a talk with Martin Nachbar and Gabi Dan Droste on the questions: ’What is contemporary in contemporary dance for young persons? What is relevant to the present in a rapidly changing world, in a multi-option society?’

  LANDERER&COMPANY

  REVOLTE!

  © Marcel Wogram

  In ‘Revolte!’, the Hanover-based choreographer Felix Landerer has his seven dancers fathom an explosive and highly topical theme: Is revolution still possible today? With their extremely dynamic movement vocabulary, the company deals with the lack of resistance in light of the many injustices in the world today, and rehearses a revolt in their dance. Attempts to revolt erupt in highly explosive group scenes, while individual dancers show that the conflict between the sense of responsibility and paralyzing indifference can also affect one’s own body. Felix Landerer sends his ensemble on a thrilling exploration tour of external and internal resistances, opening up astounding avenues of escape. The dancers and the audience are put in a state of revolt for the duration of one evening of dance.

  UPDATE – NEUES VON DEUTSCHEN TANZBÜHNEN

  It is not for nothing that Germany’s theater and dance landscape is famous throughout the world: Season upon season, the 60 dance companies of the municipal and state theaters produce a diverse and exciting range of pieces. Whether ballet, movement experiments, or dance theater—each performance reveals the contemporariness of an art that always reinvents itself in aesthetic terms, even when citing the tradition.

  The evening titled ‘Update,’ resulting from an initiative of the Bundesdeutsche Ballett- und Tanztheaterdirektorenkonferenz, presents excerpts of current productions by dance ensembles from the entire country: a surprising program reflecting Germany’s broad range of dance, compiled exclusively for the Dance Congress.

  Tickets: 23,50 - 66,50 € / red. 9,50 €
