Choreographer Silke Z. and her ensemble die metabolisten are working on an intergenerational and inclusive stage piece on the theme of desire and utopia in co-production with the company LOW AIR (Vilnius) and their choreographers Laurynas Žakevičius and Airida Gudaitė.
The project LUSTOPIA takes a look at the current gender discourse and the supposedly generation-specific positioning it contains with a focus on the topic of lust. LUSTOPIA poses the question of how desire is bound to a certain age, gender, body or disability and how the living out of desire depends on individual socialisation.
What happens when dancers make themselves available to their desire and get to know it independently of gender identities and generational affiliation? What forms of pleasure or desire do the dancers know (not only in relation to sex)? What taboos do they submit to? Why is male and young desire allowed more than female or old desire?
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 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.
