A project by Andy Zondag with texts by Nele Stuhler
A person has a body, that much is certain. This body moves in a certain way. The movements it performs are shaped by experience, upbringing, memory - and by attributions. This body, which belongs to this person, goes through a lot in its life, will change, learns and adapts. So far, so good. And what next? A tension arises in the encounter between body and language. The act of speaking is transformed into movement and everything that has been memorized may take on a whole new meaning. The stage space thus becomes a field for experimentation. In her text, author Nele Stuhler asks what it might mean to understand one's own cluelessness not as a limitation, but as a basis for encountering the world. Choreographer Andy Zondag and actor Jorid Lukaczik take this question and the text as the starting point for their work. What comes out of it? I have no idea.

A human being has a body, that much is certain. This body moves in a specific manner. The movements it executes are determined by experience, education, memory - and by ascriptions. This body, belonging to that human being, is going through a lot during its lifetime; it will transform, learn, and adapt. So far, so good. What else? In the meeting of body and language, friction ensues. The speech act is transferred into movement, and all the material stored may well gain a wholly different poignancy. Thus, the stage space becomes a field for experimentation. Author Nele Stuhler, in her text, asks what it could mean to not comprehend one's own cluelessness as a limitation but rather as the foundation to encounter the world. Choreographer Andy Zondag and actor Jorid Lukaczik take this question as well as the text as the starting point for their work. What will come out of it? No idea.
