FRAGMENTS OF THE EDGE OF TIME | Dean Reeve
"I play different characters to explore male depression and suicide through dance/acting. The piece is performed in splintered fragments, it is a comic-tragedy!
Is the individual to blame? Is depression a reflection of an inadequate society? Is the world at large to blame, a world that is unable to adapt and recognise these problems? Is it best to ignore the pain of those who become discarded by the wayside? Can suicide be prevented? Does it need to be? Should people have the freedom to end their own lives? What part does fate have to play in all this?"
Directing: Dean Reeve
Cast: Dean Reeve (Solo performance)
Musik/Video: soundtrack throughout the piece, a mixture of music and pre-recorded audio snippets to provide a soundscape.

MENSCH ALS HUHN | Lola Agostini & Die Zeitlosen
Bewegte Expertinnen analoger Lebensumstände machen da mal ihre ganz persönliche Zeitansage. Drehungen, Wendungen, Schrittfolgen, Schritt zurück, Routine, Unterbrechung, alles wieder von vorne. Alles wie neu. Gut und schön, tieftraurig, Pech gehabt, Glück gehabt, brüskiert, paktiert, engagiert, wie war das nochmal, weiß ich doch, kenn ich doch, keine Ahnung, wer weiß denn schon, was am Ende rüberkommt. Die Zeit heilt, Zeit ist Geld, das Zeitliche segnen. Und die geschickt bemessenen Taktvorgaben helfen den Zeitansagerinnen, den Schrecken des Chronos zu bannen, denn der Takt sagt immer laut und deutlich: Sieh dich vor, Zeit, ich zähle dich!

KOLM | Coline Quintin
KOLM is a trio of two musicians – Elo Masing and Guilherme Rodrigues – and dancer Coline Quintin. They came together in Berlin to explore the various relationships music and movement can enter into in spontaneous performance. They mainly approach their collaboration from the perspective of the respective roles of musicians and a dancer, but they have also begun to explore how they can transform and shift these categories to allow for even greater joy of discovery.
