sur-facing II – a dance intervention at Ebertplatz, Cologne

Friday, 25 September 2026, 12 noon and 3 pm – Premiere

Saturday, 3 October 2026, 12 noon and 3 pm

 

The site-specific dance performance sur-facing II by cie.nomoreless explores, drawing on the complex dynamics of Ebertplatz, the interplay and tension between visibility and invisibility, rapprochement and polarisation, and art and everyday life. The ensemble, comprising more than twenty performers with and without disabilities, of varying ages and levels of dance experience, engages directly with the flow of movement, the social environment and the architecture of Ebertplatz, developing a choreographic structure that oscillates between dance intervention and urban life.

sur-facing II deliberately opens up to the urban space: passers-by become part of the situations, and the boundaries between audience and art become blurred – the spectators help to shape the moment. New forms of coexistence are explored, routines are disrupted, and artistic processes are made visible.
