Umwerfend Standhaft (engl. Staggering Steady) The dancers in Umwerfend Standhaft are refreshingly daring, unwavering and truly captivating. These twenty one intergenerational women are putting their individuality in the center and celebrating themselves as modern female icons. They exaggerate conventions, challenge clichés, rub shoulders with norms and uncover their self-confidence. How much womanpower does it take to infect you? In this installation performance it is the audience that chooses its own perspective on what’s happening. The dance moves from location to location (portable chairs will be provided). You will be able to define your own position in relationship to the dance, experiencing the dancers up close and from a distance, witnessing your own steadfastness.
