SPECIAL: ANGIE HIESL + ROLAND KAISER

ID-clash - parts off

Angie Hiesl and Roland Kaiser present excerpts from their performance and installation project "ID-clash", which premiered in the city gardens of Cologne's Poll neighbourhood in 2013. During tanz nrw 15, it will take root in Schauspiel Köln's CarlsGarten. The performance challenges the exclusive division of people into two genders and thus draws attention to the topic of transidentity. The international cast of transgender performers provide a touching glimpse into their realm of experience.

Live-Performance: Melissa Marie Garcia Noriega
Video-Performance: Greta Pimenta

ALFREDO ZINOLA "BOMBA MIX"
In “Bomba Mix”, Alfredo Zinola and Ximena Ameri aim to incite a toy revolution. They anarchically scrutinise marketing strategies used in children’s industries, plunge into the ecstasy of excess and relish the hysteria of consumerism gone wild.

EXTRA: LECTURE
HENRIETTA HORN
RECONSTRUCTION OF A LONG-LOST WORK
Mary Wigman’s “Le Sacre du Printemps” premiered at the Städtische Oper Berlin in 1957. Since then this work has been considered lost. Based on sketches, notes and photos as well as the support of former dancers and contemporaries, her choreography was reconstructed and restaged by the theatres of Osnabrück and Bielefeld in 2013. As the artistic director of the reconstruction team, Henrietta Horn talks about this feat and the questions that arose in the process.

EXTRA: LECTURE
THOMAS LEHMEN "A PIECE FOR YOU"
In April 2013 the artist Thomas Lehmen left PACT Zollverein to embark on a multiyear motorcycle journey around the world. Based on his on-site encounters, he and a variety of different people developed a series of mutual gifts: short works of choreography, performances and initiatives. Before resuming his travels in South America, Thomas Lehmen is stopping by PACT to give an account of his first stations in 26 countries on 3 continents.

AUSSTELLUNG EINER EINSTELLUNG - WESEN
BEN J. RIEPE KOMPANIE
An experimental set-up by Ben J. Riepe: How do various ways of beholding something become established and thus alter the object being observed through changes in perspective? What distinguishes hard bodies from soft ones, hairy from smooth, tattooed from unadorned? Regarding oneself from the outside while simultaneously being confronted with that which is inside – at this exhibition during the festival tanz nrw 15, the Ben J. Riepe Kompanie invites audiences to experience the fine line between beauty and destruction, banality and significance.

EXTRA: CHOREOGRAPHY FOR THE CAMERA
Tanzrauschen e.V. Wuppertal, a platform for the innovative, autonomous art form “Choreography for the Camera”, will be screening a selection of short video clips by international artists before and after the performances of tanz nrw 15 in the foyer of the Theater am Engelsgarten
