ANDROGYNOUS

TRAILER

‘... Wearing oversized hoodies, red stocking masks and bare legs, the two storm into the hall like two androgynous fighting machines to bombastic hip-hop sets by DJ Urte, performing bizarre quadrupedal creatures and powerful dervish dances, wriggling around the columns on red straps and rolling across the red dance floor as a complex ball of bodies. Artistic, very precise and impressive.’

Marion Klötzer (BADISCHE ZEITUNG 22.05.2017)

ANDROGYNOUS is a dance performance with two beings who meet, mirror each other, share, who want to be men, who want to be women. Wounded, fragile, veiled meets courageous, strong and chilled. The man - ready for the shot, the woman - ready to offer comfort. It is a play about the union of two opposing poles in one body and the simultaneous splitting apart in the intoxication of love and power.

Fighting tenderly and pushing themselves to the limits, the performers finally return to where they came from: their own bodies surrounded by rushing blood.

A DAGADA dance production. Supported by the Cultural Office of the City of Freiburg.
