Orbit 1 (2018)

Performance 30 min. 

Orbit 1 is a choreography for 2-3 performers that is conceptualized for a club context. The work was shown at the Luminale Festival 2018 at Atelier Frankfurt, as well as the iconic club Robert Johnson in Offenbach. The work focuses on ambiguities of relationships and is accompanied by music from Lisa Nürnberger, as well as live looping and speaking from Carla Vollmers.

“Humans border on and off. They turn on and off. They influence each other, move another and leave. Relationships are in current transformation. They change and while transforming they turn into consistent forms and structures. We radiate and get radiated, we break those, who come near and are broken too. We reflect, find our reflection in strangers and lose ourselves again. Confused motions in human orbits, just like the sunsystem: to radiate, to glow, to be extinguished. We realize, the path will stay the same, only the colours are changing. We are everything, we are nothing and everything seems clear.”
