Sasha Waltz & Guests

In her new piece, Sasha Waltz focuses on life in the present, which is embedded within artificial structures. RAUSCHEN deals with a society that inhabits a perfect environment, but has lost touch with the world. The intensive development process with twelve dancers draws heavily upon experimentation. The main questions here include: What language of movement results from conditions in which mind and the body are inextricably entwined with technology? What position do we find ourselves in, surrounded by an overabundance of comforts that are simultaneously a means of control? RAUSCHEN is a collaboration with lighting designer David Finn, who has mainly worked with Sasha Waltz on her large-scale opera productions, and whose lively spheres of light play across the perfectly white stage. The costumes were designed by Bernd Skodzig, whose creations have accompanied Sasha Waltz’s choreographic production for many years now.
