I want to be a swamp (2024)

2024 we visited many moors in northern Germany and wanted to celebrate our memories of this unique ecosystem, which is acutely threatened with disappearance, in a futuristic-looking stage set. Remembered colours, smells, sounds, zoom-ins and microforms become "choreographic embodiments", physical, fluid testimonies of the swamp. Through shamanistic rituals, electronic sounds, choral voices and songs, the dancers allow the audience to share the grief for this dying landscape. At the same time, they conjure up the enduring, composting forces of the moor and dance a homage to the healing powers of a transformational nature that has not been cultivated, defined and colonised by humans.
