Pairing a performance with a lecture, this programme addresses how dance and choreography can respond to times of crisis.
The performance revisits Kurt Jooss’ groundbreaking anti-war piece The Green Table (1932). Echoing Jooss’ original concept and engaging with its choreographic vocabulary and political urgency, the piece also reflects on today’s context.
The lecture addresses how dancers and choreographers have responded to war, from the beginnings of modern dance in the early 1920s until today. How can the different ideas of war that have been present in the 20th and 21st centuries be reflected in modern and contemporary dance works?
20.15 – 21.00 · After Talk (with Manuel Pelmuș, Frédéric Gies & Josefine Wikström)
