Moritz Ostruschnjak: CRY WHY

In the organizer's words:

In CRY WHY, two solos merge, intertwine, become a duet and drift apart again. With Miyuki Shimitsu and Guido Badalamenti, Moritz Ostruschnjak sends two dancers onto the stage together with pianist Reinier van Houdt. When they meet, inline skates become limbs, arms become legs, Alvin Curran becomes Yoko Ono and pianos become rooms. A duet of people and material that gives rise to strange, bizarre beings, worlds and stories. Real images and stories emerge, break off, take off again. Sentimental, romantic and melodramatic elements stand alongside destruction, violence and rawness. CRY WHY plays with concreteness and abstraction, with originality and stereotype, overlaying Holiday on Ice with cyber punk.
