Guest performance series »LOOK« on dance & diversity

Curated by Silke Z.

After the successful DIVERSITY series, we are continuing our series of guest performances under the title LOOK.

The LOOK guest performance series explores the phenomenon of visibility and shame. How do we deal with body shame, sexual shame, biographical shame and status shame? Taboo topics such as sexuality in old age or social exclusion are also addressed, as well as the positive LOOK on a change in our common interaction in the future. LOOK invites you to present yourself and take a look. Under the artistic direction of choreographer Silke Z. and under the title LOOK, four guest dance performances focusing on the diversity themes of age(ing) and inclusion will be invited to the ehrenfeldstudios in 2024. The series will kick off with the guest performance TEMPTATION.

#1 TEMPTATION | Silke Z. & David Vogel

The first guest performance of the series LOOK on Sexuality in old age(s)

In TEMPTATION, 10 performers aged over 55, move between lust and loss, flirtation and shame, pleasure and pain and create a statement on sexuality in old age(s) in biographical excerpts and physical snapshots. TEMPTATION embarks on a journey to stimulating, lost and obscure places and is dedicated to the visibility of individual pleasure in old age(s).

TEMPTATION is the new production by the Silke Z. company and is being created in cooperation with Schauspiel Köln. The performers are made up of the OLDSCHOOL theatre ensemble from Schauspiel Köln under the artistic direction of David Vogel and performers from the Silke Z. company.
