Geh nicht in den Wald, im Wald ist der Wald (2022)

A performance about prejudice and exclusion of others

«Geh nicht in den Wald, im Wald ist der Wald” explores the topic of exclusion. It becomes an idea about the power of prejudices as well as about the fears that are triggered by the unfamiliar or new things. At what point does one speak of exclusion? How does one fight it? What mechanisms promote it? The piece is exploring exclusion by means of dance and language. How and why do we exclude others, and how can this be embodied in the movement of dancers? Using body weight to examine opposites within the human body, through spatial experiments. How do we move both inside and outside the norm? How do we move when we feel trapped or are forced to do something?
