Bodies lie on the ground in twisted postures on the ground, resembling sculptures. Gradual, then sudden jerking movements release them from their stillness. Their twitches evolve into choreographed loops. From isolation, they form temporary communities: social sculptures shaped by repetition and memory.

As part of the exhibition “Ligia Lewis. study now steady”, Haus der Kunst, in collaboration with the International DANCE Festival Munich, presents the European premiere of study now steady, a performative installation by Ligia Lewis. Every day in the museum’s Südgalerie, performers enact ritualized choreographic patterns, exercises in repetition and endurance that tell stories of racism, violence, and resistance. Within this shared space, a heightened awareness emerges between performers and audience, confronting what it means to be subject to each other’s gaze.

Admission is free.

“Ligia Lewis. study now steady” is presented by Haus der Kunst in cooperation with International DANCE Festival München.
