Misses und Mysterien
- Dance
- Performance
55 Min
The Berlin choreographer and visual artist Antonia Baehr creates pieces that are both sensual and humorous, opening up different ways of looking at society. Her new work “Misses und Mysterien” was created in collaboration with the dancer and performer Valérie Castan, who has recently made a name for herself with audio descriptions of dance pieces for the blind and the visually impaired. Together they composed descriptions of imaginary dances, which are then superimposed on stage with actions by the performer William Wheeler. The ostensible clarity of language is questioned in this playroom of image production, leaving behind a productive dilemma. “Misses und Mysterien” is simultaneously a choreography and an audio play in in which structures of representation in the theatre are pushed to their limits.
