Research into spiritual boundary
The performance by Berlin based Korean choreographer, Hea Min Jung weaves together physical expressions with the profound essence of Korean shamanism, encompassing spiritual and cultural elements. Through meticulously crafted symbolic ‘string’ installations and immersive soundscapes, It invites audiences on a transformative journey into a ‘different way’, fostering deeper spiritual connections and cultural expressions.
In her works, Jung delves into physical imperfections and human limitations, using her own autobiographical experiences as a wellspring of creative possibility and reinvention.

Unbaked Collective
In the upcoming residency the unbaked collective wants to deepen their research about the normalization on hyper-sexualisation of girls. The two choreographers Laura Louise van Meurs and Viviane Hamm raise the question which manners children socialized as girls possess in their physicality. By using biographical material they create a movement language of exaggerated mimics and gestures, accompanied by the music of Daniel Ismaili, who creates a soundscape fluctuating between little bells and threatening basses. The trio creates an artificial atmosphere in which both the characters and the audience get exposed.
