SCHWÄRMEREI | Silke Z. & David Vogel

SCHWÄRMEREI | Silke Z. & David Vogel

The public: one place among many. We appear where we are not expected. We swarm out, a collective body, streaming through train stations, streets and squares. We irritate, stand out, become visible and … disappear again. An unlimited movement collective that changes public space with performative interventions. Every second Monday of the month we meet at different locations throughout the city, create forms of movement and try them out in public. Participation is possible at any time, open to theater enthusiasts of all ages, free of charge, no previous knowledge required.

Registration and further information via theaterstadtschule@schauspiel.koeln

Artistic direction: Silke Z. / resistdance & David Vogel

FOXX | tanzfuchs PRODUKTION

FOXX | tanzfuchs PRODUKTION

Foxes have many faces: they are cute and cunning predators, shy and curious at the same time. Free like a cat, but also sociable like a dog. They live in the forest as well as in the city, in the ice and in the desert. They move between worlds, adapt and conquer new places. They have many characteristics and many habitats. They sneak and jump, they bark and sing. They are considered clever, sometimes even magical. Never only good or only bad. They are at home everywhere and there are stories and fairy tales about them in all cultures.
The dance parable “FOXX” follows the trail of this versatile animal. Three performers immerse themselves in the world of the fox and test its abilities, movements and characteristics. They jump and move between the European Reineke and the magical nine-tailed Japanese Kitsune, between fairy tales and manga, traditional dances and K-pop. It will be colorful, fairytale-like, shrill and at the same time shy, sensitive and mysterious.

Choreographer Barbara Fuchs follows the tracks of the animal that gave her her surname. Composer Jörg Ritzenhoff creates atmospheric electro-acoustic soundscapes, Arthur Schopa creates a lively video image layer that interacts with the performers and playwright Charlotte Luise Fechner has written a fox parable for the production, which is also reflected vocally in FOXX.
