The Perineum Triangle

Time to Meet · Showing by July Weber, Lyllie Rouviere


In the frame of Open Spaces/Sommer Tanz 2017

The duet “The Perineum Triangle“ explores the vibrant space between intimacy and formality, abstract sexuality and explicit distance. The performers throw themselves into a journey driven by desire in which the body functions both as material and a vehicle for energetic exchange. The naked and minimal space is contrasted by traditional music from the 17th cen- tury, baroque dances and ornamental flowers, which spread their tempting aroma into the room. In this setting the meeting bodies construct and destroy - as serious as children at play.

Concept, dance: Julian Weber, Lyllie Rouviere | Funded by Senatsverwaltung Kultur und Europa, Tanzfabrik Berlin and in the frame of apap – Performing Europe 2020, co-funded by Creative Europe Programme der EU.

Weber studied sculpture at the HBK Braunschweig and the Academy of Arts Vienna, as well as choreography at the HZT Berlin and at the Theaterschool in Amsterdam. Over the last 15 years Weber has developed his own artistic signature, which explores the areas of friction between image, body and material for their choreographic potential. Weber won the Berlin Art Prize in 2015, was invited to the 2022 Dance Platform and has received various residencies and scholarships over the years. Weber founded NEW FEARS - a gallery for performance and transdisciplinarity and won the 2023 prize for project spaces in Berlin.
