Length: 90 minutes (incl. intermission)
Birgit Freitag continues her 10 Minuten portrait series of Bremer citizens with Elke Lehmann: The certified psychologist and bus driver with the BSAG forms the
projection screen for a dance between truth and fiction. In a duet with actor Martin Kemner, Claudia Hanfgarn sheds light on the multilayered nature of Heinrich von Kleist’s texts – his
much-cited Ach! and his complex relationship with women. In the solo Porzellan by Helge Letonja, each step creates a new reality. What effect do objects,
situations, impulses have on us – and how do they transform our self-understanding?
Birgit Freitag does choreographies in contemporary contexts, most recently in 2011 to music by Frank Zappa for the Saarländische Staatstheater. Claudia Hanfgarn
has worked with Susanne Linke, Christine Brunel and others, creating her own full-length programmes since 1997. Helge Letonja has been producing choreographies since his time at
the Tanztheater Bremen; in 1996 he founded a company which has been at home in the Schwankhalle under the name of steptext dance since 2003 and is receiving increasing international acclaim.
