Radical Cheerleading / Schwindelfrei Festival

In the organizer's words:

"Power for the people: use your body - use your voice - make a choice" - A piece about dance as a form of protest.

Public resistance, full use of the body, choreographed protest - so-called radical cheerleading was developed by queer-feminist activists in the 1990s and combines non-violent, direct action with theatrical elements. Inspired by this, Zufit Simon's production of the same name uses and subverts codes of the well-known choreographed cheering of sports competitions to convey its own messages.

Glamor, glitter and a mix of various slogans are elements of this joyful, ironic alternative to militant forms of protest. The heterogeneous ensemble around choreographer and dancer Zufit Simon unleashes an intense and precise dance performance on stage. With vehemence and humor, they pose the question of what is worth taking to the streets for.
