THE NEW NORMAL in Bonn

THE TANZGENERATOR BONN PRESENTS:

THE NEW NORMAL is a permanent threshold state. Together we say goodbye to our visions, because reality is changing by the minute - and at the same time not at all. We are shape-shifters in a world that has ceased to make sense.

What happens when everything that was once "normal" suddenly no longer applies?
Between insecurity and the desire for freedom, self-righteousness and dispassion, outdated certainties and progressive perspectives, people are looking for new rules. And for themselves. Because in a time when anyone and everyone can be anything, perhaps no one is anything after all.

THE NEW NORMAL is an invitation to spend time where you would otherwise not want to be: In the void, in the midst of never-ending change, where the temporary has become permanent. Individually and collectively.

An evening about the indefinite, the uncertain, the seemingly never-ending.

"The crisis lies precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born: In this interregnum, the most diverse morbid phenomena appear."(Antonio Gramsci)

The production THE NEW NORMAL is a walk-in dance performance by the collective flies&tales somewhere at the interface between performance, dance, text and music.
