DANIEL DOMINGUEZ TERUEL
LOVESONG
The German national anthem plays and the black, red and gold flag flies in the air. What are the emotions that this arouses? What do we do with this symbol and its historical associations? LOVESONG risks pathos, but it changes the anthem and interweaves it with other material until there is no longer any chance of being overcome by hollow emotion.
EISA JOCSON
MANILA ZOO
A screen with five Filipino performers, isolated in their homes and enclosed in the image frames of a video conference. The audience forms a common counterpart, observes itself while watching and is observed. The Zoom call as a zoo in which power relations are constantly renegotiated.
HELGARD HAUG (RIMINI PROTOKOLL) MIT MUSIK VON BARBARA MORGENSTERN IN ZUSAMMENARBEIT MIT DEM ZAFRAAN ENSEMBLE
ALL RIGHT. GOOD NIGHT. EIN STÜCK ÜBER VERSCHWINDEN UND VERLUST
On 8 March 2014, Flight MH370 disappeared from all radar screens. That same year the director and writer’s father started to vanish into dementia. She presents both stories to the audience in a touching and poetic text to be read from projections. The only thing that can be heard is the playing of the musicians on stage.
LAWRENCE ABU HAMDAN
AIR PRESSURE: A DIARY OF THE SKY
The sky above Lebanon is filled with noise. Lawrence Abu Hamdan spent an entire year gathering data and videos of fighter jets and drones. He presents the results of his research vividly and clearly, underscored by an ear-numbing tapestry of noise. An audio-visual essay about acoustic insecurity as a tool of oppression.
MICHAEL TURINSKY
PRECARIOUS MOVES
This solo requires patience. Michael Turinsky cannot and will not use his body at the tempo the present day demands. Instead, he playfully and humorously outlines the image of a political movement with scope for individual needs. Such as those his resistant body always has.
SATOKO ICHIHARA
MADAMA – EIN INTERNATIONALES REWRITE MIT YELLOW BUTTERFLIES, AVATAREN UND SAILOR MOON
First performed in 1904, the opera 'Madama Butterfly' tells the story of a geisha who marries an American officer and takes her own life when he leaves her for a new, American wife. Satoko Ichihara uncovers the racist and sexist clichés in this work and transposes the story to a world of wild fantasy.
SERGIU MATIS
EXTINCTION ROOM (HOPELESS.)
The western population of the Siberian crane now consists of a single male. For ten years, this creature has lived alone. It is just one of the endangered bird species whose extinction is described by three performers in the park at the Ringlokschuppen – seriously, lovingly and accompanied by living bird song from decades-old sound recordings.
SIBYLLE PETERS
QUEENS. DER HETERACLUB
The Queens is a club exclusively for women who desire men. At the narrow borderline between art, sex work and care they experience touch and intimacy in 1:1 encounters with male performers – always on their own terms and keeping a curious eye on their own boundaries. 2020 in St. Pauli, now, a pandemic later, in Mülheim an der Ruhr!
SIMONE DEDE AYIVI UND KOMPLIZ*INNEN
THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT
“Our children will be better off,” the parents said when they came to Germany – and then watched their children grow up with racism. This video installation brings together the voices of six people from different migrant heritages and their accounts of generational conflicts, political struggles and visions of the future.
