UND SO KAMEN WIR ZUSAMMEN | AND SO WE CAME TOGETHER
Together with dancers from Leipzig and Hamburg, choreographer Patricia Carolin Mai asks herself if couple dance is needed to touch each other.

ALTE BEKANNTE // BEKANNTE ALTE | OLD WELL-KNOWN // WELL-KNOWN OLD
Once a dancer, forever a dancer. When is a dancer too old to dance? With humor and big pictures, bodytalk approaches aging.

WERKSTATT PLUS: FLYING STORIES OF OUR MOVING FEET
The aesthetics of our bodies are deeply colonized, this performance looks at the influences of ancestral and non-Western civilizations.

COMMANDER
Using audiovisual projections and physical theater, the group Farm in the Cave addresses the online radicalization of youth and the immature behavior of our adult society. Follow them into the depths of the Darknet.

ELFENBEIN | IVORY
A PERFORMATIVE APPROACH TO A FLESHLESS HERITAGE
What visible and invisible legacies do we carry around with us? An ivory tooth gives its future heiress and four performance artists cause to search for responsibility in a society whose colonial heritage still resides in museums, cellars and bodies.

LEIPZIG DENKT: ALARM UND UTOPIE | LEIPZIG THINKS: ALARM AND UTOPIA
In a time of social discord and bubble-ization, the festival creates and tests spaces for thinking and speaking together in different settings.

CABOOM
CABOOM is a dance about chaos. About the fears and insecurities that chaos causes. But also about adventures and the chances that arise from chaos.

EMBRACE EMBRACE — LOFFT IN CONCERT: THORD1S
Vocals that go to your heart, saxophone cuddle vibes and bass for the body - neither man nor woman, simply: THORD1S!

WERKSTATT: SHAME ON US
SHAME ON US ventures an attempt to approach female shame, to examine it as well as to question it in moments of one's own life.

LESBIAN VAMPIRE FANTASY

EURO-SCENE LEIPZIG: SULLE SPONDE DEL LAGO – ON THE SHORES OF THE LAKE
As part of euro-scene Leipzig 2022, the FORWARD DANCE COMPANY takes a critical look at one of the most famous works of classical ballet: Swan Lake.
