In Bodies We Trust – Tongue Smell Color Revisited
- Tanz im August
Brenda Dixon-Gottschild and Hellmut Gottschild created the movement theater discourse, "Tongue Smell Color", in 1999. Through the lens of a historical and cultural perspective, it examines how race, sex and power have played a role in their experiences as an interracial couple. "Tongue Smell Color" combines dance, mime, choreography, and words and provokes audiences to interrogate racism in their own lives. lt has toured campuses and performing arts centers nationwide and abroad from 1999 to 2008.
Brenda and Hellmut are now taking a reflexive view of that event with "In Bodies - We Trust Tongue Smell Color revisited". In today's performance, Brenda and Hellmut re-contextualize their "place at the table" in 2017 with excerpts from a film screening of Tongue Smell Color from 2002.

Latest information for arrival:
There is currently a construction site on Hallesches Ufer between Wilhelmstraße and Möckernbrücke underground station. There is a divided replacement route for pedestrians (right) and cyclists (left), which are separated by a yellow ground line. The carriageway is narrowed to one lane.
Travelling to HAU2 via U Hallesches Tor:
If you are coming from Hallesches Tor underground station, you will have to use an alternative footpath from Wilhelmstraße / Hallesches Ufer junction, which is separated from the carriageway by a construction fence – the actual footpath is currently closed. Please note: the alternative route is also used by cyclists. Pedestrians should keep to the right. We therefore currently recommend that visually impaired or blind visitors come to the HAU with an accompanying person.
Arrival HAU2 via U Möckernbrücke:
When you leave Möckernbrücke underground station, please stay on the footpath on the canal side until you reach Hallesches Ufer / Großbeerenstraße junction – the opposite side is currently closed due to construction work.
