"Sleepless World" by Boris Randzio

In the organizer's words:

In Sleepless World, Boris Randzio combines powerful dance with music from Bach to Radiohead. The result is a haunting space between history, the present and hope.

"There is less sleep in the world now, longer nights and longer days." Stefan Zweig, 1914.

With these words, Stefan Zweig begins his nightmarish description of the state of people's souls in 1914, shortly before the start of the First World War, which is frighteningly similar to the current restless social mood. To music by Johann Sebastian Bach, Radiohead, Hania Rani and Studnitzky, Boris Randzio translates Stefan Zweig's text into the language of movement, thus building a bridge to the fears and longings of our time, but also opening up a more fearless view of the future through shared experience and a realization of the subconscious. Sleepless World , which premiered in Carinthia, Austria in 2023, takes the audience on a journey between past and present - to themselves.

With music by Bach, Radiohead, Hania Rani and Studnitzky, the international ensemble - Ana Đorđević, Brice Asnar, Boris Randzio, Hannah Stein and Ya-Chun Tsai - performs impressive solos and group moments.

St. Elisabeth Church Berlin - destroyed in the war - becomes part of the performance. Its story of destruction, loss and reconstruction merges with Sleepless World to create a space of palpable emotion and reflection.
