Gastspiel
Choreography as an interaction between the audience and those on stage
Have you ever wanted to devise an evening of dance? À la carte is made up of longer and shorter scenes with no predetermined order. In conversation with the audience, the dancers make on-the-spot choices of props, music and a variety of dance styles, as if a varied menu is being cooked together. In this way, every evening brings a unique experience for both audience and dancers. With the Greek choreographer and dancer Ioannis Mandafounis as its new artistic director, the Dresden Frankfurt Dance Company presents a fresh look at choreography as a democratic process. Above all: movement as an interpretation of personal feelings. The truer the emotion, the more direct the contact with the audience. À la carte shows the result of this approach in optimal form.
Hosted by PACT Zollverein for Ruhrtriennale. "À la carte" is a co-production of Dresden Frankfurt Dance Company and ++1. 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.
„The personalities of the dancers are for me everything.“
