MADAME JULIE- Frühling, Sommer, Herbst und Winter
by and with Jula Lüthje

(ca. 20 minutes)

Madame Julie - spring, summer, autumn and winter is a performative portrait, playing in a figurative sense with the seasons of life. From the perspective of an old woman, Madame Julie looks at the past and reconstructs her life in various situations. Madame Julie assumes the role of the protagonist who gathers life stories by different people of different ages. Rather than creating a linear retrospection on the chronological sequence of a life, the performance is a collage of memories by many people, taking up situations and snapshots and presenting them on stage by means of drama, dance and singing.
Through dance, drama and singing, a performative form is found which particularly focuses on movement and encounters.

Jula Lüthje is an actress with a focus on performance and movement theater. She received her education at the "Scuola di teatro del Movimento Dimitri" in Switzerland, and the “Master of Arts in Performance Studies" in Hamburg. Since 2007, she is freelancing as a performer and as a clown. She also gives workshops for children and adults as well as regular training in gymnastics and acrobatic dance for children and adolescents.

SCHICHTWECHSEL - Behauptung einer Anatomie in Schichten und Röhren
by and with Antje Prust & Natascha Moschini

(ca. 15 minutes)

A performance on the pronouncement of an anatomy of layers and tubes: Layers are the membrane of existence, they encircle, cover, and protect. They are multifaceted in form, material, and numbers. Layers could be stapled, rearranged, and varnished.
Tubes can be everted and therefore are the connection between inside and outside, of layer and in-between-layer, of time and space, from madness to realism.

We (Ant&Nat) avow us to layer for layer. We tube us into a dream and confirm it as reality.

MY DANCE ROOM
by Yolanda Gutiérrez

Die ständige Anpassung und Veränderung, die Fähigkeit sich immer wieder aufs Neue einzulassen und das immer wiederkehrende Gefühl vom Tragen eines eigenen Raumes, ein imaginärer und doch realer Raum bestimmen my dance room. Die Tanzperformance versteht sich als ein Tanzkonzept, welches bei jeder Aufführung sich ständig verändert und erneuert. Es entwickelt sich weiter und lässt immer wieder neue Konstellationen zu. Zwei Profi-Tänzerinnen bereichern diesmal das Projekt: Keshwar Sayed und Paola Osorio Vélez. Außerdem sind Gonzalo Barahona, Branka Bilogrevic, Javier Hinestroza und Ignacio Mendez mit dabei.
The continuous adaptation and change, the capacity to ingest new things and the permanent feeling of having an own space, an imaginary and at the same time a real space determine my dance room.

ZONE
by and with Ursina Tosssi

Zone shows life’s pure principles like gravitation and culture, transparent through the human being. Here is the place in which every day occurrences get enigmatic and natural consequences impossible and the stress field between self-arrangement and external configuration opens itself. Seven persons were invited to the rehearsals phase to share ideas for the movement material.
