Info & tickets

A choreography for the collarbone, a dance of navel and ribcage, the anatomy of a sigh. Those who collect and study the archives of humanity are often interested in the measurable traces of humanity, reducing human beings to comparable data, to differences that can be categorised, to mere paper trails. But what about our bodies? Our movements? Are they doomed to disappear?

Choreographer Katja Heitmann wants to write a different story. Since 2019, she has been building an archive in which the most essential, paradoxical and elusive core of the human being is stored: "being and disappearing". An archive of movement and ephemerality stored in the bodies of dancers.

Her archives stretch from city to city, country to country. In each city where her exhibition is presented, she and her team meet local people, collect their gestures and offer us not only a sample of the movements of the region, but above all an impressive and poignant image of humanity, in all its diversity.
