Erde & Plastik
Performance | Installation | Research
2023 – 2025
Erde & Plastik is a research project that intensely explores the intersection of contemporary circus, dance, performance, and installation and develops a framework for a solo stage piece (Holding onto everything I’ve got) as well as an exhibition accompagnied by a performance with our without collaborators adaptable for various spaces (Erde & Plastik: Begegnungen, Erde)
Erde & Plastik explores the tension between our sensitive human nature and the broken systems we attempt to uphold. The projects aims to expand the narrative form of contemporary circus by developing a choreographic and performative approach.
