NOW (THE CAMP/THE CLASH) is a performance in two acts, which stages choreography at public meetings in different places. For the LIVE ART FESTIVAL #7 Israeli artist Omer Krieger is working with a group of Hamburg artists to develop an urban confrontation between state power and civil movements. It is dance with traces of civil protests and resistance movements from history, in the bodies and in distinctively political places such as Tahrir Square, Gezi Park or Wall Street, Maidan Square or East Jerusalem. Confrontations between citizens and police become recurring political events worldwide. NOW (THE CLASH) is researching their dynamics and involving the public in choreography that begins with a gathering and ends in conflict in Hamburg’s city centre.

Part 1, entitled NOW (THE CAMP) takes place on 30th May 2015, at 14.17 at the Neuengamme Concentration Camp Memorial. It consists of seven gatherings of commemoration and remembrance, as well as an artistic intervention.
