How do you respond to fear?
A performance between dancing and writing
Date: October 27, 2024, 19:00-21:00
Location: Fraunhofer Theater, Munich
In an interdisciplinary, multilingual performance that transcends the boundaries between literature and dance, "Wie Antwortest Du auf Angst?" invites the audience to a powerful dialog of movement and words. Writer and dancer meet on stage; one body throws words, another responds with movement. This improvised performance explores themes of empathy, protest, (feminist) anger, tenderness, kindness and all the emotions that rise up in us when we experience fear.
The event questions how we confront political and private conflicts. Which form of expression comes most naturally to us? Which is more effective? Which one interrupts a conversation or makes it impossible? How can we approach an argument with tenderness? These questions are at the heartbeat of our times, in public discourse we insist on participation and democracy - in private we try to come to terms with the wars of our world.
