KLASSE | CLASS

What we wear, what we’re named, and how we appear affects how others see us and where they put us. KLASSE | CLASS explores how classism shapes bodies – both mentally and physically – and what traces social assignments leave behind. Together with four dancers, choreographer Mandy Unger explores states that lie between exhaustion, rhythm and community.
The focus is on strategies of adaptation as well as moments of resistance: how do social attributions become ingrained in the body – and how can they be challenged? In KLASSE | CLASS, the diverse dance cultures of popping, krump, breaking and contemporary dance come together. Accompanied by the sounds of Joshua Lutz, the fashion of Lydia Kluge and the scenography of Chiara Stuto, a multi-layered space of experience emerges in which movement, sound and visual appearance merge.
In its search for new narratives of self-empowerment, KLASSE | CLASS delves into diverse visual worlds and bodily realities, exploring how community can emerge when social attributions are challenged.
