timeline

Who am I, where do I go and how much time have I left?
are the basic questions within the artistic process in the new dance production  „timeline“.
How can differente generations meet? How they exchange experiences and benefit each other?
What is the meaning of “intergenerational”?
Berliner Choreographer Nadja Raszewski answered these questions together with 6 professional dancers between 17 and 80 years.

The individual experience of time is as special as the dancers involved in this production. The ensemble offers a variety of  dance experiences, perspectives on dance history, aesthetical  imprints and professional carrers.

„I think I know who I am. I would like to go where I am surprising myself and most probably I won´t have much time left for this, which isn´t a hindrance for doing it.“
