In the organizer's words:

Residency presentation with Sade Mamedova & Lorenzo Ponteprimo

Wintertime at the EinTanzHaus. This year, the stage will once again become a winter cube during the cold weeks, where a concentrated program of presentation formats, dance festivals, further training for the team and for the scene, dance film evenings and other community events can take place in a cosy atmosphere.

PRIVATE is a project that explores intimacy as an active practice of staying: staying in trust, in conflict, in uncertainty, in fear, all in relation to romantic love. As life and artistic partners, Lorenzo Ponteprimo and Sade Mamedova use their relationship as a laboratory to explore honesty, vulnerability and the shifting boundaries between self-preservation and attachment.
