Ich bezeuge das alles zum letzten Mal

Vera Shchelkina presents "Ich bezeuge das alles zum letzten Mal" as part of the Potsdam Dance Days

You can recognise a tango from the first steps and sounds. But wherever tango appears, all its contexts shimmer through the dancing bodies: stories of migration, displacement, wars and violence.
The two men dancing here bring the tango with them from different dictatorships: having fled from Russia and Syria, they find themselves in Potsdam as a tango couple.
Can you see the two dancers' stories, can you feel them, when you see them both dancing on the tip of the island?

What stories do places tell us outside the conventional stage space? What structures, architectures and landscapes do we find? How do these affect the bodies that animate them? How do these bodies move their surroundings?

Can spaces for interaction and joint creation open through dance and choreography ?

With imagination, scrutiny, and poetry the six choreography students from the Inter-University Centre for Dance Berlin (HZT) invite visitors and passers-by to expand their perception of the public space and experience choreography through their work - as diverse as the landscapes that surround us.

Team:
Choreography: Vera Shchelkina
Dance and co-choreography: Alexandr Pukhov, Bassili Fatloun

with original music by: Jerzy Peterburski
