Dance performance by Cie. Zeit/Geist
The feeling of alienation creeps up on everyone in one way or another at some point in their lives. The lost connection to our body, to nature, to real togetherness, becomes a nagging, aching void. So does alienation lead straight to dystopia? Into a quasi disembodied society that is purely subject to the dictates of expediency and functioning?
“Powerful images: The dancers’ bodies are shaped like sculptures, telling of the longing to re-establish the lost common ground with each other and with nature in ever new formations.” (Deutsche Bühne)
“Excellent dance premiere: in ‘alieNation’, Eva Baumann explores togetherness in a collapsed world (…). Even more fascinating than the explosive subject matter about the destruction of nature as the basis of life, including interpersonal relationships, is the completely unconventional body language.” (Stuttgarter Zeitung)
