Accessibility information for SENSE OF WONDER

With SENSE OF WONDER, Hamburg-based choreographers Lisa Rykena and Carolin Jüngst create an expedition scenario in which the performers traverse an unknown region in which nothing works as it should. The environment becomes a space for imagination, a performative metaphor and at the same time a choreographic playing surface. In the science fiction genre, the expression "sense of wonder" describes an expanded form of awareness of what seems possible, appealing at the same time to the willingness to marvel. By drawing on speculative and climate fiction motifs and combining the credible with the mysterious, the choreographer duo places the fairy tale motif of wonder and its construction at the center of their exploration. As in their earlier works, the two artists draw on classical, mythological and pop-cultural materials and create new narratives, embodiments and hybrid forms from a queer-feminist perspective. Carolin Jüngst and Lisa Rykena represented Hamburg at the Tanzplattform Deutschland 2022 and are now producing their fourth work at Kampnagel.

Four people in futuristic costumes kneel in a row in a dark stage space. They demonstrate distances on the floor with their fingertips and are in discussion with each other.

A person in a dark room kneels on the floor, supports himself with one hand and holds the other to his chest. The gaze is desperate, exhausted, perhaps a little hopeful, directed upwards towards the incoming light.

In a dark stage space with blue, jagged elements on the floor and wall, one person stands in the foreground and dances with arms raised and one leg in the air. In the background, three people sit in the shadow of a blue element.

A young black man holds his hands loosely in front of his face. Through his hands, as if by magic, a jet of fire flows over his head and between his arms. The man has white abstract drawings on his hands.
