Flesh and Flowers

In the organizer's words:

The TanzKollektivBremen is drawn to Paula Modersohn-Becker, or more precisely to her self-portraits. For this encounter with the works of the Worpswede artist, the dance collective is inviting reinforcements: Laura Alcalà Freudenthal from Barcelona is choreographing the dancers Magali Sander Fett and Neus Ledesma Vidal, inspired by the life and work of Paula Modersohn-Becker.

I am I, and I hope to become more and more I.

So writes Paula Modersohn-Becker in a letter to Rainer Maria Rilke in 1906. She trusts in her art and constantly looks at herself anew through her art.

Alcalà Freudenthal turns the stage into a canvas that the dancers work on with their movements. This constantly creates new perspectives on her (own) work. Two bodies, incessant shaking, flowers and skin. Everything is always new.

Isn't it true that we only become something when we move?

"Flesh and Flowers" is being created as part of TanzKollektivBremen's residency at the Center for Art during the 2024/25 season. Funded by the Senator for Culture.
