Dance installation in the old power plant in Neckarstadt West
Little stories evoke big feelings; images, moments, splinters or fragments of a life, of a relationship, are often enough. For the new dance production, the ensemble of La Trottier Dance has dealt with the question of how we can create emotions in the shortest possible time and directly with aesthetic, performative and dance means. After the contactless Corona period, they want to touch the audience emotionally by asking current and fundamental individual and socially relevant questions. In their solos, nine dancers create an aesthetic kaleidoscope of deeply touching themes and take the audience on a journey through their own emotional world. The dance installation works site-specifically with the architectural charm of the large hall of the Altes Stromwerk, a listed industrial building and the new home of La Trottier Dance.
