Info
As part of the live exhibition live exhibition “Ligia Lewis. study now steady” and the International DANCE Festival Munich, live presentations will take place at Haus der Kunst, including Jefta van Dinthers' performance Ausland.
Our sense of the present embraces a multitude of realities. What we once called reality is constantly expanding, giving rise to new dimensions, spaces and states of consciousness, perspectives, and potentials. At the same time, the temptation to escape the world has never been greater than it is today. Jefta van Dinther’s Ausland explores the human desire to immerse oneself in alternative realities and lose oneself within them.
The audience moves freely through an immersive setting that transforms the Westgalerie of Haus der Kunst into a dreamlike labyrinth. Each visitor embarks on an individual journey filled with human and non-human encounters. Between dance and song, ritual and gaming, the performers’ bodies navigate cinematic visual worlds, creating touching moments of tenderness and vulnerability.
The Swedish-Dutch choreographer Jefta van Dinther lives and works in Berlin. His works tour internationally and have been presented multiple times in Munich as part of Tanzwerkstatt Europa. Ausland marks his largest interdisciplinary project to date and is presented as a collaboration between the International DANCE Festival Munich and Tanzwerkstatt Europa. The musical composition for the performance was created by Billy Bultheel, who has composed music for numerous works by artist Anne Imhof. His compositions are released on the Berlin-based label PAN Records.
Tickets are available through International DANCE Festival Munich.
“Jefta van Dinthers. Ausland” is presented by Haus der Kunst in cooperation with International DANCE Festival München.
