Potentiality of the Unnecessary

In “Potentiality of the Unnecessary“ contemporary dance artist Mimi Wascher and performance philosopher Paul Möstl explore the limitations and hidden possibilities of movement in public urban space. To what extent can we free ourselves from the normative trajectories and predetermined, purpose-oriented patterns of movement and enter into playful resonance with the urban environment? The performers invite the audience to consider the material, architectural, and social conditions that shape movement within inner-city landscapes. Headphones and a smartphone will allow you to listen to a Live-Set by Céline Gillain via online stream from Kiosk.Radio which will be the third component of this performance. Through different movement qualities of the performers and their relationship to music and environment, the urban conditions will be made visible, contrasted and questioned. How can we embrace the materiality of our surroundings, show ourselves vulnerable or ecstatic in public, encounter each other playfully and allow our goals to be flexible?
