LUSTOPIA
LUSTOPIA
Silke Z., Laurynas Žakevičius, Airida Gudaitė | Silke Z. X LOWAIR
LUSTOPIA is an intergenerational and inclusive stage piece on the themes of desire and utopia, co-produced by choreographers Laurynas Žakevičius and Airida Gudaitė, the urban dance company LOW AIR from Vilnius, Lithuania, and contemporary choreographer Silke Z. from Cologne.
The project brings together six dancers from Lithuania and Germany who differ greatly in age, generation, ability and dance biography.
Individually and as a collective, they follow the lure of Pleasure moments and develop a utopian blueprint of their unique and shared pleasure.
Is LUST bound to certain characteristics such as age, gender, body or disability?
Do shame and insecurities caused by gender ascription, age or disability get in the way of UTOPIA?
The project moves playfully between pleasure, obscenity, bodyshaming and bodypositivity and consciously rubs up against social norms and existing taboos. In the search for a lustful freedom, the joint dance exploration of boundaries and in contact with each other, LUSTOPIA follows the utopia of a moving fusion of bodies.
LUSTOPIA invites the audience to a dance performance experience that explores the differences of each individual and the utopia of a shared identity.

Guest performance in Vilnius, Lithuania
In WITH US, the three dancing bodies of different ages become landscapes that are relentlessly open and surveyed with a radical eye for all details in order to uncover the information they harbour. WITH US vividly shows how the bodies and the landmarks attached to them provide information about their owners without being asked and divide them into categories such as disabled, old, privileged. Characteristics such as skin colour, wrinkles, scars, facial features, pigmentation or hair structure become landmarks on the map of social standardisation.
The dance and performative measurement takes place between two generations that rarely encounter each other so directly and physically. WITH US creates an intergenerational questioning and encounter in which eye level and categories such as age, disability and skin colour are negotiated. Prejudices, privileges and visibility are negotiated through play and reflected with great political relevance.
WITH US is an intergenerational dance performance with three dancers of the ensemble die metabolisten by choreographer Silke Z. The performance is based on two duos (“WITH US. Karel meets David” and “WITH US. Karel meets Hanna”), which were created in 2022 and 2023 as part of the guest performance series DIVERSITY and were further developed and elaborated into a full-length piece.

Silke Z. & die metabolisten
Each of the invited guest performances in the DIVERSITY series is accompanied by a duo dance piece by Silke Z. with dancers from the ensemble die metabolisten, in which the transgenerative perspective on the content of the guest performance is taken up.
Karel and Hanna put themselves in each other’s skin. Themes such as age, shame, belonging and touch are negotiated. The skin as a border to the world offers both performers the possibilities of opening up and communication, as well as resistance and withdrawal.

WE. THE EMPATHIC BODY VOL. 1

THE EMPATHIC BODY VOL. 1
Silke Z. & die metabolisten
GUEST PERFORMANCE IN BONN:
WE. The empathic body Vol. 1 „QUINTET VERSION“
We are emotional.
We are resilient.
We are dependent.
We are loving.
We are uncertain.
We are jealous, assaulting, grateful.
We are strange, tender, ignorant, freaky.
We are online.
We are diverse.
Humans as social beings have the ability to empathise with others, to put
themselves in their place, to take the place of the other. WE transfers the
natural forms of emotional contagion into dance-choreographic settings. The
performers walk tightrope between attraction and aversion, affection and
assault.
In WE, Silke Z.’s ensemble die metabolisten negotiates empathy and
faces the invasive, encroaching side of empathy. This first production of the
project THE EMPATHIC BODY lays the foundation for a perennial
examination of the topic of empathy. The intergenerational company is
looking for new performative perspectives to approach the complexity of
themes and cultivate feelings of WE.
