Intergenerative Dramaturgie Recherche

Silke Z conducts ›Intergenerative Dramaturgie Recherche‹, which expands the original radius of dramaturgical work. How do the dramaturgical output and the interaction with the ensemble change when an intergenerational dramaturgy team itself gets into physical feeling and experience, and a change of perspective, from theory to practice, is achieved? What common vocabulary emerges?

#ResidencyInsights Nancy Awori

»During the residency program I got an opportunity to work on a short production, which I call ›Shades of Resilience‹. Introducing Fahe Kerubo, a remarkable black queer woman living in Kenya, this episode delves into her personal life, exploring her relationships, struggles with mental health, and the supportive networks she has built. Fahe's journey is a testament to resilience, showcasing her role as a trailblazer who inspires future generations.«

Vier Performer:innen, gekleidet in langen, fließenden Gewändern, befinden sich in einer kraftvollen Tanzpose auf einer dunklen Bühne. Sie scheinen sich energisch zu bewegen, mit gebeugten Knien und nach vorn geneigten Oberkörpern. Die Bühne ist minimal beleuchtet, sodass nur die Tänzer in den Fokus geraten.

Die Residenz bei PACT war für Salamata Kobre und ihre Compagnie die letzte Etappe in der Entwicklung des Stücks ›Mangeuses d'âmes‹, das direkt im Anschluss im Juni 2024 seine Premiere am Théâtre Paris-Villette feierte.

»bacilli (Shotaro Yoshino, Yoshitaka Nanjo & James Jack; based in the archipelago of Japan) listen closely to the energy of microorganisms inside the soil in Zollverein—what do these bacteria inside of land say to us? In this residency we layered geological research on coal memories, oral histories with residents in Ruhr on what gives them energy today and connecting power circuits with imaginative thinking.«

#ResidencyInsights Kukily Colectivo

»Our residency at PACT was an exciting and intense period of work on our new project XTRÆNCESTRAL, set to premiere at the Lagos Biennial in February 2024. It was also a time to come together and work on our body-based performance practice, after several years of long-distance artistic processes.«

»When I grasp an environment is acknowledging me, I feel a strong sense of continuation, (and extension) of belonging. It might be a mutual process, where my focus gets curious to notice where I am, the place, the situation, the density of a particular room, the feelings that rise and the sensations that leave...«

»Adamma- ›The Passage‹ is a solo performance based on the 'Adamma' maiden spirit ritual, touching on forms of transgression and of shape shifting through embodiment and African ancestral spirituality. In this work, I will explore Igbo maiden spirit rituals of crossdressing, transsexualism and transvestism as subversive places, where the notion of subjectivity is challenged, where gender norms are questioned, and where identity is always perceived as capable of construction, invention and change.«

»During my residency at PACT, I was questioning the nature of a living body from the perspective of an African. This involved reflecting on my own childhood traumas and transgenerational conflicts as well as looking at an African body as an archive of transgenerational history. How do I contain the energies that were passed on to me by my ancestors? How do I live with past traumas in the present?«

Our residency in PACT was the second rehearsal period for the production ›What, Where, When are we?!‹ a work that sets out to explore the question of whether identity is rooted in one space and time. It is a rhythmical approach to transnational and multidimensional embodied experiences. Four performers on stage, live drums, and radio stations create sound layers that interweave with body memories.

»After ›KIRKPINAR‹ & ›karadeniz‹, my new research on queer androgynous belly dancers called ›köçek‹ will conclude in a trilogy about the trans-individualist self beyond identity politics. Death, mourning and its affects continue my motivation in inviting witnesses to a shared experience of a temporary community in the black box.«
