ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE

There is something that connects us, could connects us. But do we know our position, our proximity, the forces that wear us down?

One ensemble, many languages, trainings in dance, sexual orientations, social positions. Get Physical is the working method, while dance is the passion. But does that unite us? What happens when we make explicit the heterogeneousness, the predetermined social breaking points that cut right through the ensemble and through the bodies?

Aiming at psychological rehabilitation, Grupo Oito’s ensemble work incorporates questions raised when examining Fanon’s Black Skin, White Masks: UNRESTRICTED CONTACT as a physical engagement against everyday violence.

Produced by Kultursprünge at Ballhaus Naunynstraße gemeinnützige GmbH. Initial production within the festival Republik Repair, funded by the Land Berlin, Senate Department for Culture and Europe, as well as by the
Federal Agency for Civic Education.

PRESS REVIEWS 

„Grupo Oito certainly have powerful voices of their own, but they also leave space for ours, and they exhort us to fill it.“
(David Pallant, Tanzschreiber, Januar 2019)

„Das Tanz-Ensemble Grupo Oito zeigt im Ballhaus Naunynstraße eine scharfe und ergreifende Analyse vorherrschender kolonialer Strukturen und schafft so tänzerische Begegnungsräume“ 
(Alexandra Hennig, tanzraumberlin, Februar 2018)
