Songs & Dances about the Weather

Das Tanzstück verbindet Geschichten über afrikanische Rainmaking Rituale mit der poetischen Darstellung von Klimadaten der abschmelzenden Gletscher in Europa. So werden zwei Phänomene des Verschwindens in Zusammenhang gebracht und mit Hilfe dreidimensionaler Projektionen erfahrbar gemacht.

The dance piece combines stories about African rainmaking rituals with the poetic representation of climate data of melting glaciers in Europe. In this way, two phenomena of disappearance are brought into context and made tangible with the help of three-dimensional projections.
