Tanztriennale 2026: Ljuzem Madiljin - Ljuzem's Walk in Hamburg

In the organizer's words:

Performance as part of the Tanztriennale Hamburg, June 14 - 21, 2026

"Ljuzem's Walk" is a performative, mobile work choreographed and performed by Ljuzem Madiljin, dancer and artistic director of Tjimur Dance Theatre from Taiwan. The performance has evolved over more than a decade as a personal and healing journey. As an artist from the Paiwan people, an indigenous group in Taiwan, her work continually explores identity and belonging, and grapples with the many roles and expectations of modern life.

As she moves through the city, Ljuzem Madiljin senses echoes of indigenous struggle and resistance. She remembers social control and discipline as well as stories of solidarity, women's liberation and collective strength. Through the open and responsive form of dance, she creates a space for listening, feeling and sharing, where the personal and the collective, the urban and the spiritual meet. Ljuzem Madiljin invites the audience to re-experience both the city and themselves, to listen to the voices that still resonate within the walls of the city and to share a space between past, present and future.
