Zufit Simon: "The Fight Club"

In her new production, choreographer and dancer Zufit Simon explores the body language of aggression, power games and violence. The production plays with almost imperceptibly changing gestures, resulting in a variety of associations and a continuous change of status between power and powerlessness. Inspired by the image of the boxing club - a hidden, ritualized space of male self-testing - a performative space is created, a kind of ring that questions and deconstructs body images, power relations and gender stereotypes. it is a piece about fighting - as an act of resistance, as a ritual of self-assertion and as a way of inventing new communities.

On 29.04. there will be an audience discussion following the performance.
