Rockaby

In the organizer's words:

by Samuel Beckett

The piece will be shown in the new Foyer.

Nominated for the Cologne Dance Award 2015

Andrea Bleikamp stages Beckett's monologue about the eternal cycle of dying with the voice of Anja LaÏs and the body of dancer Bibiana Jiménez.

The production, which premiered in 2015, was nominated for the Cologne Dance Prize and received much attention in the press: "Gender is fate, women die differently to men. And while Beckett's movement is reduced to the rocking chair, everything happens inside the language, so to speak, Bleikamp and her team turn the subject around and make despair dance. ... a strong production, the experience of which you take with you into everyday life." (Thomas Linden, Choices)
