TRAVELLERS
Travellers is a contemporary dance piece for three men asking the question:
Where is home when we travel?
Three very different men are sharing one experience. They support and challenge each other. They share the language of Contact Improvisation and the desire and capability of highly physical dances.
Set material, narrative lines and clear images compose the frame of this piece. Improvisation based parts allow the vulnerability of the dancers to be a vital part of the evening.
Travellers is , choreographed by Sebastián García Ferro (Spain) and performed by Sebastián García Ferro (Spain), Jörg Hassmann and Daniel Werner (Germany),

AFTERNOON SHINNING
Afternoon Shining (55 min.) is a contemporary dance based on the idea of everybodys life is follwed by its nightmares, nightmares by example of everydays repetition and by different pressure of daily life. Everybody is hunted by dreams, dreams of success or escaping
daylife, wish of growing wings and fly away, but trapped in lonelyness. The journey takes them back and forth into different states. But the moment they dive up, the fear will catch them again.
What is normal and where is the moment of change into crazyness, where is the border inbetween and where is the crazyness of being normal?

TANCAT ATTITUDE
TANCAT ATTITUDE is a dance-theatre work for 4 dancers. The grotesque language is the mean aspect of this piece and here is used as the expressive starting point. The piece is about 4 persons in a day of their lives, before the awakening, with their dreams or nightmares that anticipate the day. The choreography describes their moods and how they get over that. In some moments the story is building from an unique tale, but there are antagonist and simultaneous tales too. A simple journey can have several items. Many of them can seem similar between them, even identical. Can almost seem an inevitable conviction. Different persons that dont know each other, but share the same struggle, the resistance and looking for ways outs, but when they get it, they are scared anyway. This piece is the result of the choreographers necessity of building a new space of artistic experimentation, but taking care also of production process. That is how appear the fusion of different things, like dance, acrobatics, theatre and poetry.
