DER KONGRESS DER PFLANZEN "The Congress of Plants"
A fictional choreobotanical scenario by YET Company

We admire the bouquet of flowers on the table and enjoy the shade of the trees in summer. But if a tree grows in the wrong place, it is cut down.
We often treat plants as objects. If we could listen to them, what impact would this have on human-botanical relations?

The dance production "Der Kongress der Pflanzen" ("The Congress of Plants") gives plants a stage. Three dancers act as hosts, come into contact with them and thus constantly create new more-than-human constellations.

Dance: Sarah Altherr, Bettina Paletta, Linda Withelm

HINTER DEN WOLKEN (BEHIND THE CLOUDS)
An encounter between a Palestinian and an Israeli dancer

Ehab is Palestinian, Ben is Israeli. Together with Fabian Cohn, they created a dance piece – right now, despite everything. In the performance space hangs a vast cloud-like structure: a projection surface for expectations, assumptions, and the weight of an ever-present conflict. Two people move within and alongside this cloud. Two who are constantly confronted with questions of identity and belonging. People with stories who listen to each other. People we, too, can listen to.

The dance piece “Hinter den Wolken" ("Behind the Clouds") is an invitation to embrace complexity and ambiguity – together.
