What do we have to say goodbye to in the face of the climate crisis? What conditions and practices enable us to allow change? What role does the body play in this?

With GOODBYE / FAREWELL, Antje Velsinger / new trouble go in search of how transformation becomes possible. Choreographic strategies of saying goodbye are interwoven with stories of loss and rituals that question people's place in the world. The dancers wrestle with their archetypes of repression and repeatedly try to discard habitual ways of acting. The inner turmoil between wanting to hold on and having to let go becomes the tangible driving force behind their journey. Time and again, spaces open up in which grief can be admitted and shared. The audience is invited to enter these spaces together with the performers and look out for moments in which change begins.

What do we have to say goodbye to in the face of the climate crisis? What conditions and practices allow us to embrace change? And what role do our bodies, the atmosphere, and a sense of safety and connection play in this process?

With GOODBYE / FAREWELL, Antje Velsinger / new trouble explores how transformation can become possible. Choreographic strategies of letting go intertwine with stories of loss and rituals that question humanity's place in the world. The dancers grapple with their archetypes of suppression, repeatedly challenging themselves to let go of familiar habits. The inner conflict between the desire to hold on and the necessity to let go becomes the driving force of their journey. Along the way, spaces open up where grief can be acknowledged and shared. The audience is invited to join the performers in these spaces and seek out moments where change begins.
