In the organizer's words:

In his latest work, Hamburg-based Tamil choreographer Anand Dhanakoti combines the German word "Atmen" with the Sanskrit term "Ātmæn", which means not only breath, but also soul and physical memories. For the artists in Anand's international team, polluted air is an everyday normality in the cities of their countries of origin; these body memories form the starting point for an artistic search for traces. Breathing rituals from yoga and Kalaripayattu function as culturally coded memory practices. From a decolonial perspective, the focus is on the right to clean air and the ecological imbalance caused by outsourced industries in the global South. An immersive structure of futuristic aesthetics, soundscapes, pulses of light and fields of smell makes it possible to feel what it means when clean air cannot be taken for granted, even in Hamburg.
