Radio-Choreography: Voices from the Verge

KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin, Germany

26.08.2023

Radio-Choreography: Voices from the Verge explores the various ways of broadcasting dance on the radio. This show features a sonic reenactment of a dance action by Lebanese choreographer Dominique Tegho, which took place in Beirut during the 2019 protests; an archival interview with Valeska Gert, a Berlin-born choreographer and performer (1892–1978) whose grotesque choreographies criticized bourgeois culture; and Mothers of Steel, which has the choreographers Dan and Siniarska reclaim crying while they mourn the emotional identification with their home countries, Poland and Romania. 

 

Developed for KW, this iteration transforms Pogo Bar into a temporary radio station, broadcasting live on reboot.fm.

Special guests: Brandon LaBelle, Madalina Dan, Agata Siniarska.
