»In C« with Acid Pauli to celebrate Radialsystem's 20th birthday

In September, Sasha Waltz & Guests’ acclaimed choreography »In C« will be performed once again at the Radialsystem – a colourful exploration of the world of minimal music and, at the same time, democracy expressed through dance. Based on Terry Riley’s revolutionary 1964 composition of the same name, the choreographer worked with 10 dancers in spring 2021 to develop a choreographic score comprising 53 movement figures within an equally open structure. The choreography combines a clear set of rules with structured improvisation, which leaves the dancers room for individual freedom and ever-changing variations – thus making every performance unique. Central to this, too, is the relationship between individual freedom and social responsibility, which is renegotiated time and again by the performers over the course of the evening – accompanied by live music from Acid Pauli and other musical guests. The performances are part of the »20 Years of Radialsystem« celebrations.

The performances are accompanied by an »In C Workshop« in the afternoon of 12th September, which is open to all and invites participants to explore the movement material in a playful way and to try out the concept of »danced democracy«.
