A shared evening with work in progress (dance-) performances, which were created or further developed in the context of RESIDENCY@Im_flieger and of Im_flieger CHANGING SPACES Vienna-Vorarlberg.
in cooperation with
HOMA // Coralie Bénard (FR/AT)
Homa is a dance solo created as part of the CHANGING SPACES residency by Im_flieger (Vienna) and NetzwerkTanz (Dornbirn). The project deals with the role of the human body as home. Specifically with the image of women and the challenges of becoming a mother. Through the transition into adulthood – and the accompanying changes – (new) fears and insecurities about my body have arisen. I was also confronted with the question of motherhood and how to experience this special moment. This solo is meant to be suitable for any audience and to communicate through contemporary dance and physical theater.

With the kind support of: Im_flieger and netzwerkTanz Vorarlberg

See you NowNow // Jolyane Langlois (CA/AT) & Thandiwe Mqokeli (SA)
Drawing from their recent experience of performing the very first steps of Hopeful Walkers at Im_flieger, and separated by distance again, Jolyane and Thandiwe continue their exploration about hope and human connection. In the unknown about when they will see each other again, they continue dancing together apart and feeling the presence of the other in the distance.
Performance: Jolyane Langlois, Thandiwe Mqokeli
