DANCE
KOCH & PLIKAT: REMANENCE
with Selina Koch, Mira Rosa Plikat
Choreography: Selina Koch, Mira Rosa Plikat
The duo "Remanenz" by Mira Rosa Plikat and Selina Koch deals with the theme of symbiosis and explores symbiotic processes and their dissolution. Two bodies, fused in a symbiotic union, form a new being that is constantly transforming and taking on new, sculptural forms. The stage of detachment is inevitable. An endless cycle of connection and detachment.
PLAY OF FIGURES
THE DOORKEEPER
Direction, play, puppetry, set and technology: Lukas Schneider | Artistic supervision play and dramaturgy: Julika Mayer | Artistic supervision lighting design: Joachim Fleischer
From the interplay of light, object, body, costume and sound, the puppeteer Lukas Schneider creates spaces and figures of picturesque beauty in Der Türhüter. A guardian emerges who moves light, space and time, but what does he protect before everything fades away and fades into infinity?

2020, 2K, 8' / ∞ Infinite Loop, 5.1, COLOR, 16:9
Director: Nicolaas Schmidt
Autumn again on planet Earth. Pink rose petals hold together in stormy difficulties, enduring the restlessness of the eternal thunderstorm. A Romantic Conceptualism bedtime fable of resistance & redundancy, or the uncomfortable ambivalence of truth, dream, life and love. Let us unite to form an inflorescence.
LIKE HORSES STANDING IN THE RAIN
2024, HD, 16', 5.1, COLOR, 16:9
Director: Nicolaas Schmidt
It's Christmas time. The stations are decorated, the times are festive... . A movie about tradition and resignation. How long do you have before you consider yourself not only deviant, but also sick? How long can each individual endure this state? How long can we all endure this as a community?
A Capitalist Realism Questioning. A Hold On Christmas Diary.

MIGRANTS
Germany 2021 00:05:21 Color
Director: Daniel Burkhardt
In their search for food, the birds cross the political borders that are irrelevant to them every day and instead orient themselves along the large landscape lines that are constantly moving and shifting against each other in the Wadden Sea. In the montage, the theme of the border is taken up and transferred into a temporal grid: a cut is made every second. Within this framework, disparate shots are used to describe an almost continuous progression: from approach to landing, from day to night and from an agricultural environment to a dystopian, post-industrial backdrop.
