“Retrograde” depicts a landscape that makes no distinction between the human body and the body of the environment. A community lost in the wilderness is caught in a vicious cycle of collapse and recovery. This constant, absurd cycle of destruction and reconstruction requires a body that is both soft and hard, ready to transform as it collapses, decays and re-emerges.

This ritual of repetition culminates in exhaustion and eventually softness, support and intimacy emerge. During the journey, symbols, gestures and sounds associated with people and tradition seem to merge with the space, momentarily raising questions about the nature of collectivity and suggesting an unbearable coexistence of pain and hope.

An event as part of the 12th Leipzig Dance Theater Weeks.

Three time travelers, a spaceship, a crash: unexpected arrival in a possible future. Will the world as we know it still exist? Has everything come to an end? Is it the beginning of something new? The piece starts with our present and playfully and poetically takes off into a future in which nature, body and virtuality merge. Based on research about the future with students, the Israeli-born, Berlin-based artist Yotam Peled and the ensemble develop a choreography that searches for a connection between dance and technologies.

Where the Boys Are, a duet for Nicolas Knipping & Andrius Nekrasovas, choreographed by Yotam Peled, premiered in Fabrik Potsdam in March 2023.

Where the Boys Are is a playful exploration of where dance meets martial arts. Examining and reconstructing the vocabulary of different fighting practices, the two performers transform the arena into a zone of performance which is sensitive and intimate.
