In the organizer's words:

My time - a predator

Dance theater 55+ - "My Beauty! My Glory?"
A production of the COBRA Cultural Center

Role models, performance, design, consumption and beauty ideals shape how people define beauty and aesthetics today - desired, longed for, expected, manipulated and for sale.

The COBRA production "My Beauty! My Glory?" builds a bridge between body image, conscious intervention in one's own body and visual and spatial manipulation in the context of the work of artist Erwin Wurm.

24 dancers aged between 55 and 77 realize these themes on stage and create a performance full of expression, reflection and artistic power.
