EGODOCUMENT - Fantastic Tales
EGODOCUMENT - Fantastic Tales
As part of LANDSCAPES 4.0
... and if the act of exodus were a form of pacifist resistance against terror in the world ...
In what ways and for what reasons did people decide to go into exile? Based on personal experiences and adventures, the themes of identity, migration and exile shape our collective consciousness in the present day. How do we want to live together and co-create society?
EGODOCUMENT – Fantastic Tales interweaves real and imagined memory to create a sensitive, poetic, documentary-style dance performance. In front of an expansive video installation and in an immersive tapestry of sound, the performers test continuous forward-looking progression and self-assertion. The production explores and questions the current and historical processes of flight, as well as the new dimension of life in exile as the foudation of family narratives and myths.
Christel Brink Przygodda's work is guided by a conscious attitude of care towards society, and by the question of how respectful coexistence at eye level can be achieved.
