Unusual Symptoms / Theater Bremen / Adrienn Hód – Hodworks

Harmonia

  • Performance
  • Dance
Understandable without language /  approx. 105 mins.

Slowly, almost imperceptibly, a supposed warm-up becomes a flow of choreographed encounters. Intimately and cautiously, the possibilities and limits of different bodies are explored. Suddenly the mood shifts, and the performance explodes into a powerful spectacle full of energy and rhythm – and a completely new dynamic unfolds to the pulsating sounds of pop music.

In “Harmonia”, Unusual Symptoms and choreographer Adrienn Hód challenge us to re-examine the human body and its significance in dance and society. Amidst concentrated explorations of physical diversity, joyful exuberance, and a healthy dose of self-irony, an ensemble of dancers with and without disabilities questions the hierarchies of classical dance as well as the supposedly progressive forms of contemporary dance art. Asking for the audience's undivided attention, they jettison conventional notions of the body and the structures built around it, setting out to playfully reorient our gaze.

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.
