"Durch den sich Vögel werfen, ist nicht der vertraute Raum, der die Gestalt dir steigert. 

Raum greift aus uns und übersetzt die Dinge: daß dir das Dasein eines Baums gelinge,

wirf Innenraum um ihn, aus jenem Raum, der in dir west." Rainer Maria Rilke

PERFORMANCEBÜHNE BERLIN based their performance on a score by Henry Mex. "Trifork" stands for three-way fork. The players moved from the central starting triangle ring by ring to the outside. The decision which of the three ways to the next ring he/she took, was made by the player for him/herself or by dice. The dancers unfolded their game along the theme of decision.

Our ancestors shaped us not only through what they exemplified and left behind, but also through what they kept silent or what was forgotten. Blank spaces leave behind a tension that everyone unconsciously feels. Children process events that they did not even experience themselves. We dream of things that happened to our parents.

A dance experiment related to different perceptions: A sensual experience begun in the forest continues as a multifacetted dance and film performance on stage in the civilized space. Initially it was the outside that sent movement impulses into the body, so that now the bodies will act from inside to outside - from the cellular memory.

„The fluid presence in our bodies is our fundamental environment: we are moving water brought to land“ (Emilie Conrad)

Without water there is no live. Water means movement of the smallest and biggest parts in the universe and vital parts in the body. The GWD Performance Group Berlin presented impressions of the actual research as a work in process of music and dance improvisation.

A dance performance built out of moving sculptures leads the audience through the park from one spot to the other unveiling secret corners and romantic places of the beautiful Schloßpark.

You can discover hidden pathways and new perspectives, when the dance elicits the miracles from the different places.

The performance focuses on the field between connecting, holding together and holding too tied, entangling. In our minds we put strings between the park and nine other places in Marzahn/Hellersdorf, combined them with different keynotes and sent on a journey between the places building melodies on the way and bringing them back to the park with echo. Streched out fabric, strings and ropes completed the stage outdoors and gave borders and friction.

The premier of geomusik Biesdorf was part of the music as well as a revival of “steps in park” for trumpets and trombones. The tones metaphorically were the pathways in the park also with a correlation of nine places there with the keynotes. Out of the length of the dance steps on the pathways the composer extracted the length of tones and a playful combination of instruments.

The site-specific production offers new perceptions of the park-architacture created by Albert Brodersen for the visitor of the area. Three dancers “wandered” through the park and asked the audience to join them. Four musicians drew sound-geometries between seven places and the dancers and the audience. Time, Movement and steps structured the different paces of the music.

Trapeze dance performance with live music

The character of the piece is that of dialog between the artistic voices of the three performers. The trio works with direct presentation form without distance to the audience. The special performance places play an active role in building the story.

Through placing the trapezes, loud speaker systems and the audience there is a freshness and directness for all sides.
