Potsdamer Tanztage: Necropolis | Arkadi Zaides (Lyon)

In the organizer's words:

English with German surtitles.

In Necropolis, Arkadi Zaides creates an ongoing choreographic and documentary work about unknown bodies - a poignant reflection on the ongoing human tragedy at the borders of Europe. By integrating data analysis, choreographic techniques, interviews with migration policy experts and field research, Zaides and his team immerse themselves in forensic practices to create a new kind of virtual archive. This archive, comparable to a map or an invisible landscape, stretches across space and time, weaving together the mythologies, histories, geographies and anatomies of those who have found their way to Necropolis. Although there are no bodies to dance with in the city of the dead, it is precisely this absence - the collective body of Necropolis - that Zaides brings back to life.
