This is a Premiere

This unusual collaboration brings together Cristiana Morganti—a long-standing principal dancer with Pina Bausch—and Emanuele Soavi, who developed his craft working with choreographers such as Forsythe and Kylian. Both are Italian artists and accomplished choreographers who have lived and worked in Germany for over twenty years. They examine their understanding of art, their origins, and their lives as migrant professionals, while also addressing key aspects of current socio-political discourse. Through physical dialogue—at times poetic, at others ironic—they explore the ongoing process of self-discovery for two distinct personalities and artists.
