manifesto

written in 2004, mid-way through my studies at ArtEZ, task proposed by João da Silva


what ought we to do when we are at leisure?

what are the implications of the glass architecture that surrounds us?

what if history is not being taught anymore at schools?

what if perception is reduced to simple absorption of daily life shocks?

is there hope?

what about the responsibility of being hungry?

what about taking a closer look?



does the eye go blind when it only wants to see why?

what if all what is solid melts into air?

is there any one-way trajectory?

what do we speak about when we speak about love?

is it a long and widening road?

how much can one choose?

lifelessness in movement, or how do the dead move?



waiting for or waiting upon?

can we possess life?

is confusion the sign of our times?

how similar is octopuses´escape behavior, from the purely physical point of view, to the escape behavior of, say, middle-aged, middle-class American males?

how to accumulate?

how to practice?

what about taking some distance?

Erstarrte Bilder münden in ein lebendiges Spiel bewegter Körper. In ihrer jüngsten Arbeit setzt sich Alexandra Waierstall intensiv mit Grenzerfahrungen auseinander. In einer dichten Verschränkung von sinnlicher Bewegungssprache, Musikkomposition und Video richtet die in Düsseldorf lebende Choreografin gemeinsam mit fünf Tänzern den Blick auf künstlich erzwungene Grenzen und den traumatischen Schock von Teilung. Das Stück erforscht aktuelle politische Konflikte, ihre tägliche Wahrnehmung durch die Medien und die persönlichen Auswirkungen für den Einzelnen.

- open rehearsal: 21st March -

15th, 17th April & 12th May, Tanzhaus-nrw, Düsseldorf
