Luigi Guerrieri “DEINE MUTTER!”
DEINE MUTTER! is a choreography of insults, an insulting choreography about my mother and yours! It is the celebration of the cathartic power of cursing and swearing, beyond the stereotypes of aggression and violence. How can I talk about my mum while insulting yours? How many times do I have to repeat “son of a bitch” till it looses its linguistic and cultural meaning? Till your and my private patriarchal system will crash? This performance is a collective liberating moment. I curse for you and for me, at the rhythm of my high heels. FUUUUUCK!

L’AUTRE CHIEN Kollektiv- “NUE”
The businesswoman Almuth comes across a homeless person’s cardboard and gives her some alms. Irritated by the fact that the homeless person doesn´t show up, she becomes insecure and starts a conversation in which she reveals her own need for identity. She is saved in a gesture of women solidarity.

Peter Kraus & Pablo Chiereghin – “RAUM S”
a Performative Room Installation
A performative space installation where dimensions and depth are disrupted by the whiteness of the inner landscape. Black structures and sound break the limbo in which the spectator is suspended, much like the bass guitar hanging from the ceiling. The sound performance unfolds in waves, enveloping in the space the spectator who stands as structure, reflecting sound and light.
LOD COLLECTIVE – “DREAMER”
Is there such a thing as reality at all? DREAMER invites us to question what makes us human and what reality truly is. The performance reminds us that we all have a dreamer inside us, and that it is the ability to feel and experience emotions that truly sets us apart as humans. Intimacy and sensuality are explored through the human connection, acknowledging that human emotion is universal. DREAMER emphasizes that connecting and belonging are vital aspects of the human experience.

Martina De Dominicis & Evandro Pedroni & Manuel Riegler – “HOW TO ENTER A STAGE” – According to ChatGPT
In how to enter a stage the performers flirt with the tool of ai generated text. In this first approach to the topic, they specifically asked Chat gpt how a dancer should enter a stage. The tension between the interpretation of such instructions and the disclosing of the process of choreography in which the audience itself will have agency, becomes the base of an ironical playground situation that questions modes of production and its possible tools.
