“Feelings are real but not reality”

Dance and Concept: Hannah Krebs

Dance: Judith Förster

Music: Kelis- Milkshake, Ludwig Wittbrodt- Dschungel der Gefühle, Ludwig Wittbrodt- Prélude, All Desserts Filled With Water

This duet circulates around the core norms of girlhood. It investigates in the relation between internalized misogony and the reclamation of symbols, gestures, words. Through re- adapting language, symbols and fashion from stylized highschool movies. How is competition between female read bodies still present today? 

This dance performance is an exploration of how softness can be extended until it seeps into a realm of agression. This exploration takes norm embedded in pop-culture as a starting point for an flipcoin encounter of radicalization and intimicy.
