Showing
by
Danila Lipatov & Karen Zimmermann
Time to Meet! "Enchanted Islands - A Pantomime" by and with Faris Alrjoob, Asya Ashman, Tiwo Dannenberg, Polina Kichatova, Konstantin Koryagin,
Danila Lipatov, Ian Purnell, Juli Schmidt, Maya Zaretski, Karen Zimmermann.
Following their R.E.D. residency in 2024, Danila Lipatov & Karen Zimmermann invite you to a work-in-progress showing followed by a discussion at Tanzfabrik Berlin BÜHNE x Uferstudio 5.
How close can I get? How can I feel you? How much space do we need? Should we exist here as a group? How do we organise work? What does it mean to be a flower? Should I follow what I have seen?
Danila Lipatov & Karen Zimmermann's artistic research is inspired by Yevgeny Charitonow's pantomime play ‘Enchanted Island’ (1972). In the play by the Soviet, homosexual and censored poet, a jealous sorcerer transforms shipwrecked lovers into all kinds of (non-)human beings. But they continue to search incessantly for the touch of the other.
During the R.E.D. residency at Tanzfabrik BÜHNE x Grüntaler 9, they worked together with five friends on improvised actions that reflect the possibilities and limits of collective connections in temporary spaces and across distance.
