22. January 2019 Knock-out galery press 2018 International Tanz & Theater Festival, E-Werk Freiburg 20 min. co-producer Tanzpakt 18, E-Werk Freiburg with Tjadke Biallowons, Alice Gartenschläger, Julie Jaffrennou, Olivia Maridjan-Koop Anger, attack, emptiness! In the piece Knock-out the performers balance between the poles of power and powerlessness. They express their current attitude as individuals and as social body towards life in a repetitive confrontation. They trace the terms power and manipulation back to their most original meaning, namely to “handling” or to the similar Indo-European root “mag-” – i.e. kneading, pressing, shaping. They attack the emptiness of space and the invisible/absensible in different ways and experience a direct access to both their creative power and their powerlessness. In this creative process they are sometimes creators sometimes creatures. galery press Badische Zeitung – June 2018 So much fury – and so much tenderness Artikel lesen Kulturjoker – July 2018 The short pieces have grown up Artikel lesen
