a dance piece by Anna Konjetzky

Anna Konjetzky’s new piece for young audiences moves between dance and concert. A rap of feminist voices – wild, thought-provoking, rebellious, calling out: sound off, dare, believe in yourself, stand up for yourself and your friends. Three dancers and a singer gropingly search for their place in the world. With their bodies, live camera, beats and voices, they go in search of role models, form communities, want to be seen and heard and allow themselves to be different. They shake up injustices – with power and joy. Quotes, video and music are sampled to create a collage of protest in which the echo of many and multilingual voices reverberates through the ages into the present day: It’s cool to be feminist!

From the age of 13.

A dance piece by Anna Konjetzky

6 dancers deal with nostalgia, with holding on to something that is supposedly better, with looking back to yesterday but wanting to move forward. Nostalgia is currently a strong driving force again, both individually and in society as a whole, not just as an exit from an uncertain present, but as a vision of the future. The performers move in a half-pipe pulled apart, jumping up, letting themselves fall, simultaneously moving forwards and backwards in their dynamics. Yesterday / All my troubles seemed so far away – a song like a lifeline. But can we turn the past fantasy into a future fantasy?

songs of absence

a dance piece by Anna Konjetzky

“Songs” and “absence”, the two main words in the title, are the content and program of this work. From a feminist perspective, “Absence” looks for the things that are missing, that are not visible, that disappear in the gaps, that want to be said or not, and questions whether absences are ‘just’ a not-wanting/not being able to see. 

”Songs” refers to a formal examination, with the traditional form and album structure of songs, as well as with contemporary performance structures per se. It’s about the composition, the physical, tonal, spatial composition of an evening that works like a polyphonic parkour: polyphonic – multiphonic, an autonomy and independence of the voices.
The result is a songbook, an album, an archive that tries to make the absent visible, to give it a name, to create a homage to the forgotten, the repressed.

Von dem Ursprung, dem ersten Impuls oder dem Bewegungsansatz ausgehend, erforscht sie die sich konstant und bisweilen minimal verändernden räumlich erfahrbaren Körper. Beschleunigungen und Richtungswechsel durch Einzelne ausgelöst, rufen Reaktionen hervor, ermöglichen Entwicklung. In ihrer choreographischen Recherche untersucht Anna Konjetzky die Veränderungspotentiale. „Wir müssen uns verändern und wir tun das kontinuierlich – was aber passiert in dem Moment, wenn wir eine andere Richtung, ein anderes Tempo einschlagen, den „Sprung“ wagen?“

hope/less

a dance piece by Anna Konjetzky

Does hope help us to shape a different future, or does it block us and leave us hanging in an inactive waiting loop? Hope, as an emotion directed toward the future, is something we know as individuals as well as a society. It can be a motor for change, a kind of tool for developing utopias; without hope, no change, no demands on the future, no thinking about what is possible. But hope can also be a state of passivity, a waiting, a stagnation and abdication of responsibility.

Anna Konjetzky’s new work “hope/less” moves between these two pools. Prior, she and her team conducted a series of interviews as a basis for the production; about hope, about its absence, about new starts, personal expectations, about the future and fears.
After my last piece “Über die Wut” I would like to deal with another social condition and currently hope and also its reverse hopelessness seems to me to be a present element in our society which is in upheaval. But what can hope do, where does it exist, where not, and where should it be turned into hopelessness? Or can radical hope mean radical change? (Anna Konjetzky)

Four dancers move in “hope/less” in a space divided by a net made of safety belts. This enables a vertical and horizontal space of movement on and under the net; the dancers can hang on the net, lie on it, pull themselves up, but also fall through the net – a fragile, floating physical condition. The German word hoffen (hope) comes from the Middle Low German word ‘hopen’, which means ‘to hop’. Translated physically into our stage setting, it could mean a springing, a slight tremor of foreboding, a waiting see-saw, but also a flipping, a tipping, a losing of balance. (Anna Konjetzky)

“hope/less” uses four bodies in a stretchable and malleable space to think about the potential of hope/ hopelessness as a visionary, future-shaping force, understanding choreography as a dialogical and utopian practice. The production follows on from Anna Konjetzky’s solo ” Über die Wut” (2021), which was specifically dedicated to female anger as a constructive force, a tool for change. Both works explore emotion as an individual feeling and as a social condition with a view to change’s ability to initiate fundamental and radical change.
