DEINE WAHL!

The empathic body vol. 3

In the third and last part of the series »The empathic body« , Silke Z. and die metabolisten put themselves and their audience to the test: they explore the limits of empathy and throw themselves into absurd situations on stage, which resembles an arena.

Sound designer Sarah Procissi and songwriter Nikolaj Grunwald push the performers into an extreme display of their supposed individuality and uniqueness. What at the beginning seems like a “normal” casting show, disassembles itself in the course of time and at the same time pushes the machinery of show business to the extreme.

Die metabolisten challenge the audience to leave their comfort zone of anonymity and present them with a choice over and over again – it’s YOUR CHOICE!

THE DIVERSE BODY – LABS WITH PEOPLE OVER 60

2020 - 2022 | The empathic body

the diverse body

Labs with people over 60

As part of the multi-year artistic project »Der empathische Körper« (The empathic body) by choreographer Silke Z. and the transgenerative ensemble »die metabolisten«, four dance labs for the generation Ü60 will be offered in 2022 under the title »the diverse body«.

Embedded in a dance series focusing on diversity in society, to which international dance performances are invited, Silke Z. and ensemble members of the metabolists offer a dance laboratory for all people over 60.

Everything revolves around the themes of empathy, language and the body!
The dance labs are dedicated to physical and artistic research at eye level and open up a protected space in which the positions of the generation over 60 can become visible. The work is dance-based and language-based.

Each lab includes an impulse lecture on the thematic focus of the lab, its own final presentation and the opportunity to see dance performances together in the ehrenfeldstudios.
