We are more than excited to announce the second edition of our performance week showcasing 7 performances in BR and Halle. Most of the performances happen on two consecutive days. Information about HYPERVENTILATOR (17/18.06 20:00) and DREAMER (17/18.06 21:00) below:

HYPERVENTILATOR
Breathe in through your elbow and exhale through the soles of your feet. As your lung moves through your body, witness its form shifting. Suddenly you see your lung diffusing through your skin, floating 5 meters in front of you. HYPERVENTILATOR is a dance-concert for multiple performers, who are operating in a sterile environment that evokes multiple associations. What to expect: Paetzold contrabass recorder, 2 airbodies, tubes, breathing masks, connecting tissue, hair, silicone, flesh, sensation, skin. zone.2027 holds space for interdisciplinary research. Re:formulating what operating in a dance/music/ theater - context can mean.

DREAMER
LOD, an emerging collective led by Laureen Drexler, in close collaboration with Rebeka Mondovics, presents their first contemporary dance production. DREAMER celebrated its premiere to a sold-out audience in September 2023 at the renowned Theater Odeon in Vienna. DREAMER invites us to question what makes us human and what reality truly is. It reminds us that we all have a dreamer inside us, and that it is the ability to feel and experience emotions that truly sets us apart as humans. Intimacy and sensuality are explored through the human connection, acknowledging that human emotion is universal. The performance emphasizes that connecting and belonging are vital aspects of the human experience.
