Ode an die Dinge

Ode an die Dinge

„I love all things, not because they are passionate or sweet-smelling but because, I don’t know, because this ocean is yours…“
Pablo Neruda.

Old records, porcelain, an old telephone – things that tell stories, define us, develop a life of their own and raise questions.
In ‚Ode an die Dinge‘ two dancers devote themselves in their very personal way the ‚things‘. A gentle, fragile dealing as opposed to stormy, passionate twirling of the body and scenery.
Some things we can touch – some we can’t. Some things touch us – some don’t. The stage constantly reshapes itself with and through the numerous objects, turns into a wonderland, a living room or the utter chaos.

In a humorous way, the two dancers get involved with the ‚things‘ and take the audience with them on a journey through strange absurdities and poetic devotion to our (im)material companions.
