Clash - Eine Spurensuche nach zwischenmenschlichen Konflikten

In the organizer's words:

A dance piece by unknown.possibilities.

Two dancers try to reconcile their conflicting movement intentions. They get tangled up in each other, have to endure tensions, change perspectives, use their breath and shift their weight to bring calm. They are not only in dialog with each other, but also with the voices of the interviewees. The stage area is transformed into social venues for conflicts: from a political podium to an abstract boxing ring, from a courtroom to two demarcated territories. Where is there room for dialog & when does the situation escalate? And is it possible to clash humorously? The current social divide makes it necessary to create spaces in which people can go in search of conflict. This is about exploring and dealing with productive conflicts. The opportunity to work on questions such as "What non-violent ways are there to resolve tension?". u. p. explores ways in which dance can contribute to understanding conflicts, utilizing their non-violent, transformative power and remaining capable of action.
