TANZWERKE VANEK PREUSS - Work in Progress: Polaris

In the organizer's words:

POLARIS is the second part of a multi-year trilogy by Tanzwerke Vanek Preuß entitled BIASED. It is about the blinded human being - in other words, about all of us - and the phenomenon that public life, language, values and manners now largely take place only in delimited communities that confirm themselves.

Following PHANTASMA, the first part of the trilogy, POLARIS focuses on the increasing black-and-white thinking (polarization) that takes the place of conversation, debate and the both/and of positive diversity.

In POLARIS, Tanzwerke Vanek Preuß and her ensemble use the means and methods of contemporary dance to explore how the current zeitgeist is reflected in our bodies. What constitutes flaring, impotent rage in a so-called "multi-crisis"? How does the constant exaggeration in the media with its hypes, fakes and tendency towards extreme emotionalization change bodies and souls?

The world premiere of POLARIS will take place on Friday, January 24, 2025 at Tanzgenerator Bonn in the Brotfabrik cultural center.
