SOLIDARITY!
Diversity is the word of the moment - it tells us that our society can be diverse, open and united. But what does it actually feel like to be at home here and there, to feel connected to more than just one country and one way of life? And how does belonging come about when we don't have the same nationality as others around us?
In Rebecca Weingartner's latest piece ‘SOLIDARITY!’, two dancers and a musician come together whose biographies are very different, but all three know the feeling of not really belonging. On stage, they challenge each other to be courageous and approach each other. So the musician begins to dance and the dancers make music. For this venture to succeed, they need active support from each other - and from the audience. Together, a choir of moving bodies is created; a sounding, crashing, singing ensemble. This creates a space for diverse stories and visions of a community in which everyone can participate and experience a sense of belonging.
