WITH US!
Intergenerational dance performance
With Us! (Mit Uns!) is an intergenerational and inclusive dance performance by Silke Z.
Karel, a dancer aged 66 and David a 27-year-old dancer with trisomy 21 meet and share their bodily landscapes, measure their individual bodily shapes and challenge each other’s movement forces.
They encounter each other in a completely human way: like father and son or like best friends.
