MEDO/ANGST
Choreography: Ben J. Riepe
Fear – "Medo" in Portuguese – is a predominant feeling in Brazil nowadays and reflects a global phenomenon. It concerns the inhabitants of the favelas, artists, climate and LGTBQ activists alike – they are all affected by restrictions in their daily lives. With this creation, Ben J. Riepe explores possible ways to encounter these social and political charges: in the sense of a self and external questioning, a comparison and – if you like – a search for the lost freedom in art. Via a highly physical movement vocabulary, driving sounds, live singing and Portuguese as well as English language elements arise sensual and at times oppressive images – a struggle for community and individuality.
