... and if the act of exodus were a form of pacifist resistance against terror in the world ...
What drives individuals living in exile? What experiences do they carry with them? What impact does the necessity of relocation have on both the individual and society?
Drawing on subjective perspectives, statements, memories as well as personal and collective testimonies of refugees, the choreography maps individual journeys in exile and integrates them into a performative video-sound installation that maintains the relevance of themes such as identity, migration and exile within the European context of the present. The distinct movement sequences of the three performers symbolize the ongoing pursuit of progress, forward motion, and self-assertion.
Since 2016, Christel Brink Przygodda has consistently engaged in dialogue and exchange with individuals who have sought refuge in Europe. She investigates how they reconstruct their lives and creates opportunities for interaction. Her work is characterized by a deliberate and caring approach toward society, focusing on how a respectful coexistence on equal terms can be achieved.
