Moving sculptures - modern dance performance

On Saturday, 16 November, the city of Bocholt and the Department of Culture and Education, in cooperation with the Equal Opportunities Officer, invite you to an extraordinary dance performance that explores identities in the field of tension between the digital and analogue world and redefines them through dance forms of expression.

The event can either start at 7pm to attend an interview with the artists, or you can come at 7.30pm to start with the interview (conducted by art historian Nora Wessel, KuKuG) and then enjoy the performance. Catering will be provided by the Kunst- und Kulturgemeinschaft Bocholt (KuKuG).

The performance raises questions: Who are we really, and who do we want to be when traditional values and entrenched gender roles are called into question? What opportunities does digitalisation open up to shed culturally shaped identity patterns and gain new perspectives on the self?

The interdisciplinary project "Moving Sculptures" by artists Banse, Brautmeier and Drahmann provides answers to these questions. Artistically edited photographs of women are projected onto the dancers, who react to them with their movements. This dance dialogue is filmed and then projected again, creating a complex interplay between virtual and real levels and making it possible to experience the connection between the digital and analogue self.

This special evening of theatre is sponsored by the Münsterland-wide project "Stadt.Land.Bühne" with support from the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, the Regional Culture Programme, the Landschaftsverband Westfalen-Lippe, the Werte-Stiftung Münsterland and the Provinzial Cultural Foundation.
