ONE SONG – HISTOIRE(S) DU THÉÂTRE IV

Through the metaphor of a live competition and concert, including a commentator and a cheerleader, Miet Warlop invites us to form a community and lift each other up, as in a celebration. The temporary thus becomes the universal, and the personal becomes something of the collective.

KOULOUNISATION

“How do you say ‘colonization’ in Arabic?” – Based on this consideration, Salim Djaferi traces the history of Algeria’s colonization by France and its bloodytransition to independence. On one side it is called the “Algerian War”, whereas onthe other side “revolution”. A semantic (re-)search into the power of words!

SHOWCASE: SIX NEW THEATRE TEXTS FROM FLANDERS

Six staged readings of current outstanding theatre texts from Flanders – about the meaning of life and the addiction to love, about affairs and assaults, love in old age and angry old people, as well as about Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir. The readings are part of the theme day ALLES AUSSER FLACH – New Literature from Flanders.

LIT1/FAMILIE

In a first edition of LIT – a new series by Antwerp-based Behoud de Begeerte – three novelists explore the idea of “family” together with a singer, taking us on a journey acrossborders and generations. This performance is part of the theme day ALLES AUSSER FLACH – New Literature from Flanders.

KRIZE

Without collaborations, we all die. Seven performers run continuously – and yet only tread water. In KRIZE, Žiga Divjak and his team examine our global economic system, which is built on exploitation and growth.

NEGOTIATING PEACE

With a pan-European team, Qendra Multimedia from Kosovo looks at various peace negotiations over the past decades. In doing so, they visualize the background, challenges, fears and hopes that are associated with it – also in anticipation of an end to the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine.

PUT YOUR HEART UNDER YOUR FEET ... AND WALK!

Steven Cohen, unique and internationally acclaimed choreographer, performer and visual artist, brings to stage a very intimate ritual and at the same time a strong aesthetic and political manifesto about the loss of a loved one and how we deal with death.

TO BE POSSESSED

The debut of a talented young Greek choreographer. An ecstatic sound and movement collage of enormous technical precision, showing an archive of “possessed women” from different cultural contexts, revealing their overwhelming, shocking and subversive character.

XIAO KE

In Jérôme Bel's masterful portrait of the Chinese dancer Xiao Ke, she describes her career between folk, modern and contemporary dance live via video from Shanghai. For us, this also reveals the rapid development of her homeland from Maoist cultural reform to a capitalist economic system.

SCARBO

The exceptional dancer Manon Parent draws us with her dance into flights of fancy and discord in her deepest inner self. An intimate solo, extremely sensitively choreographed by Ioannis Mandafounis, the new Artistic Director of the Dresden Frankfurt Dance Company.

UKRAINE FIRE

The new program by the five world-famous Kyiv musicians is a rousing performance between punk, activism and cabaret. A musical and visual manifesto as an act of resistance and for a life in peace and freedom.

THE LONG SHADOW OF ALOIS BRUNNER

The Syrian exile theatre group Collective Ma’louba links dark chapters of German and Syrian history in the 20th and 21st centuries. THE LONG SHADOW OF ALOIS BRUNNER is about questions of justice, experiences of displacement, going into hiding and theatre as an act of revelation.

SPHINCTÉROGRAPHIE + DEFACE

In this unique double evening, the exceptional artist Steven Cohen offers a deep insight into his extensive work, which he has created on several continents over the past three decades. His trademark – sophisticated and meticulous make-ups – are as elegant as they are surprising.

ONIRONAUTA

With her newly invented Expressionism, Tânia Carvalho is the most dazzling representative of the current Portuguese dance scene. For ONIRONAUTA she personally arranged Chopin's revolutionary etude for two grand pianos and accompanies her first-class ensemble on a journey between dream and reality.

HOW TO SAY … ? HOW TO UNDERSTAND … ? AND WHO IS SPEAKING?

A talk with the director and performer Salim Djaferi, the anthropologist Dr. Stefanie Mauksch (Leipzig University), the museum educator Christine Fischer (GRASSI Museum für Völkerkunde zu Leipzig) and students of the Institute for Theatre Studies at Leipzig University.

SPIELMATERIAL ÜBERSETZEN

In this staged reading followed by a discussion, the participants present the results of the dramaturgic translation workshop SPIELMATERIAL ÜBERSETZEN on the new theatre production OST by Leyla-Claire Rabih and Elie Youssef.

NO WOMEN, NO PEACE

Without women, no lasting peace – this simple conclusion is constantly proving true globally. Countless women around the world are committed to peace and security. We take a look at the realities in various peace negotiations and explore concrete measures to strengthen women’s participation and influence.

SPACE MAKING

Under the working title Remise 24, theatre director Anne Zacho Søgaard and dancer and performer Hermann Heisig are developing a cross-genre residency and project space in Leipzig's Waldstraßenviertel. As final event of the lab on the issue of hospitality and shared resources in cooperation with PLATTFORM STUDIOTRADE, there will be a first open house with coffee, cake and improvised scores.
