Artist Talk about the Performance

This year, inspired by the Vienna State Ballet's ballet evening Shifting Symmetries, the Tanzlabor ensemble, consisting of 16 dancers, explored the questions "What throws me off balance?" and "Where has there been no balance for a long time?" and developed their own dance piece from this.
Everything and Nothing is a piece about the now, which is sometimes too loud and diffuse, which tempts us to think too simply out of sheer overload, which searches for immediate answers everywhere and probably becomes too one-sided in the process. It is a play about the everyday balance that we often find and then lose again in the next moment. We throw each other off track and try to find our way back together.
Concept for the outreach format: Zhameli Khairli (in tandem with Katharina Augendopler). The performance is a cooperation between the Vienna State Opera, the Vienna State Ballet and Tanz die Toleranz.
Following the performance, Zhameli Khairli will moderate a discussion with the contributors (choreography, dance, costume, sound) of the production.
This format was created as part of the Academy of Unlearning mentoring programme by kulturen in bewegung.
