HERZrasen

A dance piece about love and belonging by BLOMST! Choreography by Johannes Blattner

For a new production, BLOMST! has invited choreographer Johannes Blattner to develop "HERZrasen", a dance piece about love and belonging. It uses different dance styles to offer teenagers and young adults an artistic level of reflection on diversity and different forms of love and partnership.

A dance performance for ages 14 and up.
An invitation to dialogue - without judgment - but with pleasure and humour.

In this piece, we playfully show how to deal with diverse body images. 4 dancers from different dance styles - from urban dance to contemporary dance - enter into communication with each other. They approach each other, "battle" with each other, touch each other or exclude each other.

Who actually fits together here? Are we only happy together as a "couple"?
Can I love more than one person?
Do we belong together?

Dance styles mix, exchange and new affiliations emerge. We celebrate diversity - in dance and beyond.
