Michael Laub/Remote Control (NL)
"Total Masala Slammer/Heartbreak No 5"

Modern dance goes Bollywood! If choreographer Michael Laub borrows the "Werther"-theme of German genius Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and crosses it with Indian soap operas, then there is "Total Masala Slammer/Heartbreak No 5". Indian Khartak dancers encountering a group of modern Western dancers. A priggish, blue-skirted school girl and a vamp in scarlet dress forming a strange congeniality in a piece that is ironic, extravagant and smart at the same time. Renowned body and performance artist Marina Abramovic created surprising video sequences, the atmospheric sound is by Larry Steinbachek.


"pigg in hell"

Expressive young dancer Astrid Endruweit tells the story of a young woman who seems to have fallen through all social nets. With obscene gestures and poses, at times enchanting, at times mad, provocative and trenchant, the artist spreads her outrageous tale of abuse and violence to fill a space mastered by her body alone.
