In the organizer's words:

Dance

Choreographies by Tom Weinberger, Arianna Di Francesco and Imre & Marne van Opstal
with little or no language

Male/female/diverse. Binary, non-binary. How free is the understanding of gender in our time? To what extent are role models changing? The internationally renowned guest choreographers artistically explore questions like these. The brother and sister duo Imre & Marne van Opstal, winners of the German Theater Award DER FAUST 2024 in the field of choreography, will be guests in Mannheim. Audiences were able to experience the intensity of their choreographic language in the trio "The little man" at the NTM in 2022. Now they return with "Mommy, Look!", a work created at Theater Basel in 2023, presenting a profound study of masculinity in all its facets. A creation by choreographer Tom Weinberger can also be seen. He loves the intensive creative dialog with the ensemble in order to create a collective dynamic and make intimate, universal themes tangible. His works are characterized by an organically flowing language of movement and the combination of dance and language. Body and voice merge, opening up new dimensions of communication. It will be all the more exciting to see what answers Weinberger will find in his world premiere. This content has been machine translated.
