ANKOMMEN (to arrive) - orient yourself "Where am I?" *, position yourself "Where do I come from?" *, present yourself while still being lost, still foreign "Why am I standing here" *
In the world of dancers, a mix of languages causes a clash. Multiple cultural backgrounds, stories and experiences come to the surface and become dance.
This is Susanne Linke´s focus for her first creation with the newly founded ensemble. Trier´s big stage with its wonderful technical potential and balanced dimensions, which she spontaneously fell in love with on her first visit to Trier, also plays an important role here.
Linke´s loving and humorous perspectives on human faults as well as her admiration for Daniil Kharms´ sound poems are also woven into her dance piece, and all of the dancers take this up and realize it in a polyglot and individual way.
Words like incantations turned into dance.
