Susanne Linke: RUHR-ORT    (revival) 

(Renegade in residence - reconstruction)

In 1991, Susanne Linke created her legendary piece "Ruhr-Ort"; in it she focused on the men´s work in the steel factories and mines. Physical exhaustion became dance and formed impressive images of the world of labor in the old Ruhr region.

The extraordinary choreography is returning on stage. Susanne Linke is reconstructing "Ruhr-Ort" together with the dancers of the Herner Street-Art Company Pottporus/Renegade. This will be a unique meeting between street art and dance theater, between the old and the new Ruhr region, between dance history and contemporary urban art.

Susanne Linke: KAIKOU

(premiere)

"Kaikou" is about transformations: Three men, one woman on stage.

The men appear like archetypes: they hunt, they kill, but also they die. They are simultaneously the hunters and the hunted. It is though they must repeat the same circular patterns: competing and fighting - to win, or maybe to lose. "Kaikou" tells of a struggle of balance: between the animal and human, compulsive behavior and walking upright in civilization.

"Kaikou" plays with ambivalences and alternates on a broad scale between animalistic sleekness and a hard, aggressive attitude. With Urs Dietrich, Henry Montes, and Brice Desault, Susanne Linke presents three very different but strong dancers and personalities who can express themselves on the subject in a multi-faceted way. Sometimes she passes throught this men´s world like a spirit - either to disunite, or perhaps to unify it. -  (Norbert Servos)
