Zweiland

Sasha Waltz

The choreographer Sasha Waltz inspires with imaginative and surreal stories that draw their strength from everyday life. What moves people deep down is the starting point for energetic movement studies. Her pieces take us on journeys through the most diverse emotional and dream worlds. The living spaces of human beings play a major role. The production »Zweiland« leads into a public space: the street. The dynamism and the pulsating lifestyle of the street are reflected in the rhythmic movement sequences. In »Zweiland«, Sasha Waltz seeks a poetic approach to the topic »Images from Germany«. Social conditions are presented on the interpersonal level and can thus be experienced directly. The symbolic number »two« is visible in various forms: growing together, togetherness and disunity, despair. Absurd everyday situations alternate with character studies and fairytale images. German songs from different centuries are interpreted by the performers themselves, allowing music and dance to merge into one.
