INSIDE HUMAN

In the organizer's words:

In her solo performance "inside human", dancer and choreographer Vasiliki Bara searches for identity in a world characterized by confusion and fragmented realities. Who are we really and which self do we present to the world?

With the idea that every human being carries a creature within them, she forms new bodies on stage that oscillate between human and creaturely forms. Skin melts into skin, the boundaries of the body blur, their forms become fluid and their limbs seem alien. The piece emphasizes the discrepancy between being and appearance: between what we perceive and what is real. It sharpens our view of the great unknown that we ourselves are.

The dance is accompanied by printed images by photographer Teresa Grundei and electro-acoustic sounds by composer Konstantinos Baras.

Greek-born dancer and choreographer Vasiliki Bara studied dance studies at the Free University of Berlin. In 2019, she completed her Master's degree with her thesis on the perception of the disabled body in contemporary dance and presented her first own works. In 2023, she choreographed the piece "Lust"for the company of the Leipziger Tanztheater, which was performed at the Schaubühne Lindenfels and WERK 2. In 2024/25 she is part of the Artist Development Program of LOFFT - DAS THEATER. She was last seen at the Schaubühne as a performer in the production "Das Kafkahaus", directed by René Reinhardt.
