BIGGER THEN THE UNIVERSE
For BIGGER THAN THE UNIVERSE, choreographer Eva Borrmann has selected five international artists and sent them on a search for the supernatural, the inexplicable and the mysterious. Six fascinating solo works emerge from their individual exploration of different spiritual practices, opening up the conventional theatre framework. The theatre space is transformed into an installative cosmos in which various artistic positions are presented, which make it possible to experience an image of spirituality in very different ways through body, movement and sound. The audience is invited to move freely through the space, approach the protagonists, surrender to the special atmosphere of the evening and expand their own horizons of perception.
"A WANNABE"
by Lorenzo Ponteprimo
When you want something so much you stop listening.
You stop listening and you get lost.
You get lost and you freeze.
You freeze and you detach.
You detach and you start to disappear.
You disappear and you are not.
Not even what you want.

AIR BAGS
GLEICH KNALLT'S
Inflated bodies storm onto the stage. Each kitted out with his or her own personal protective clothing, an AIR BAG, our four protagonists seem to be invincible. Their AIR BAG makes them appear taller, broader and more powerful than they really are, and they have literally surpassed their own limitations. They are safeguarded against any physical or emotional impact. Their extraordinary skills could almost be mistaken for those of super heroes….But what is hidden behind these dazzling cushions of air? Isn’t there a vulnerable centre inside every shell?
„AIR BAG – ready to burst“ examines the increasing demands made on young people growing up and the fears that accompany this period in life. At the same time our performers tell the stories of their own personal AIR BAGS, how they were formed and how they developed.
Choreographer, Eva Borrmann, and her team of four dancers explore how fear can be defied by imagination. Perhaps fear and imagination are mutually dependant, just as the children’s book author, Erich Kästner, conjectured when he wrote: „If someone possesses no fear then he possesses no imagination.“
