“Komm! Ins Offene…” (Come! Come to the Unconfined…) is the slogan of the festival and young artists ask “How open is the open?” What does it mean, to act at the open, public space? Which rules were set? Where is some room left to act?
The International Theatre Institute has invited four choreographers to work out interventions with dancers in the public room from the region. Starting points form the escalators of Halle’s department stores and the airport - structures giving strictly directions, which challenge particularly for experiments of dance, the unusual and the non-daily. In connection with international renowned media artists, students of the Academy of Arts “Burg Giebichenstein”, another three universities, free artists from Halle and the artistic symposium “Mobility Visions/Bewegende Zukunft”, question “escalators” movement and control in the public room - with the idea to discover new possibilities of performing, thinking and movement.
