Dance conquers the public space

One One One suggests a specific relation with the public, different from theater performances. The performers take over the public space as a field for experimentation and non-representation. The performers engage physically and mentally, destabilizing a specific idea of reality and allowing them to explore their limits or relationship to transgression. In the simple staging of two imaginary parallel lines on the floor and two chairs placed side by side, the artists invite the audience members to take a seat. The performers and the audience members look into each other’s eyes, and the performers dance for a single audience member at a time. The dance is performed for as long as needed as the audience members decide themselves when the performance ends by simply standing up. 

Produced by ++1, Prairie - Migros Cultural Percentage, Tanzfest 2015. The Dresden Frankfurt Dance Company is supported by the City of Dresden and the Free State of Saxony as well as the City of Frankfurt am Main and the State of Hesse. Company-in-Residence at HELLERAU - Europäisches Zentrum der Künste in Dresden and at the Bockenheimer Depot in Frankfurt am Main.
