staubkinder
Inspired by the music of Gustav Mahler, the cie. toula limnaios is dedicated to the »staubkinder« (children of dust) that we are. The title, a word creation by choreographer Toula Limnaios, symbolizes the complexity of our contemporary lives—shaped by uncertainty, challenges, and crises.
The children of dust are deeply embedded in our individual and universal memories. In »staubkinder« we let ourselves be carried away into an absurd world. A world similar to our own, with the critical aspects of the present, today’s complexities and this uncertain space called future. The »staubkinder« are looking for their home - the land on which their feet stand is foreign to them.
Disturbing and poetic at the same time...

»Are we lost to the world? In ›staubkinder‹ by Toula Limnaios, eight dancers create an unstable, surrealistic world. The title of the piece is a word created by the choreographer and at the same time a symbol of our current existence - in all its complexity, crisis and uncertainty about the future. The 6th movement of Gustav Mahler's 3rd Symphony in Leonard Bernstein's interpretation gives expression to the alienation and emotional turmoil associated with these life circumstances. How does one find (back) into a state of harmony with oneself? Where is the island one calls home? ›Dust‹ , so the hope, can be understood here not only as a gloomy symbol of transience, but at the same time as the unifying primal ground of all life.«
(Christine Matschke, TanzRaumBerlin)
»There is no overblown drama in »staubkinder«, but rather a relentlessly clear view, including of the fears and crises that threaten to overwhelm us in our present day. A really powerful play. It takes time for the audience to break free from this kind of bias. And then they cheer.«
