Echo - Annick Schadeck & Bastian Iglesias with Tong Xiaoyi & Yuya Fujinami // dance performance

Thursday 25th of July // 21h

In Echo choreographed by Annick Schadeck , performed by Tong Xiaoyi and Yuya Fujinami, with music by multidisciplinary artist Bastian Iglesias, non-visual patterns in space and time will be explored through visual movement. Theremin, an electronic musical instrument controlled without physical contact by the performer, plays an important role. When dance is combined with a theremin, an impulsive movement generates an audible sound that echoes through space and time. In this sense, what we are experiencing in the present moment may be a ripple, or an “echo” from a past signal. This piece shows how we can experience the past, present, and future simultaneously through echos.

ON SITE BODIES - Jan Burkhardt & Nicole Wendel // workshop

21st, 22nd & 23rd of July // 10h-12h

ON-SITE BODIES – Cartographies in Movement 

Beyond looking at our bodies as simply membranes of giving and taking, we can include materials in our environment to give us new sensations, allowing our bodies to extend into space and that space become part of our bodies. In the Wasserturm, movement can be used to explore the environment and its surroundings and deepen the connection between the two. 

In this workshop, each participant will learn to focus on physical agency and receptiveness, focusing on the interweavings of how they are connecting with the space and others around them through the movement of their bodies. Through interdisciplinary artistic mediums of choreography, drawing, and music, participants will practice how to exist together as part of a collective and embodying presence that connects all things to each other. 

ReFramed - Natalia Palshina, Giorgia Bovo & Ana Dordevic // dance instalation

19th, 20th, 24th, 26th & 27th of July // 20:30h

ReFramed is a collaboration between dancers and choreographers Ana Dordevic, Natalia Palshina and Giorgia Bovo. Bringing together their diverse backgrounds, expertise and decades of stage experience, they have developed ReFramed as a site-specific performance that explores relations between space and ownership. How do we move in and out of the frames of our bodies, our relationships, our society, our nature? Does the safety and guidance that certain frames offer us sacrifice our freedom? Each night, with no barriers between dancers Giorgia Bovo and Natalia Palshina and the audience, everyone is involved and invited to find their own answers.

Entry for ReFramed is  free with a festival pass or a single event ticket.

Adressen curated by Noam Gal // poetry exhibition

19th - 28th of July // 10h-16h // free entrance

Following the focus of FRAMED FEST 2024 on musical duets, ‘ADRESSEN’ pays tribute to this form of expression, which is all about careful listening, giving and taking. We can imagine a duet to have the form of a poem, feelings that reach our hearts from the creative mind and hands of another. This poetic transmission may require translation, a delicate movement from one language to another, from one voice to another, in a different time and place.

As you enter into the spheric space of the Wasserturm, you will find postcards of poems surrounding you. We invite you to take one, or more. Between the physical movement of picking up the postcard and the reading of the poem, a duet is created. By sharing your poem, more duets are possibly, and uniquely, sung. Where would you send the postcard? Does your duet need an address?
