In a society dominated by capitalistic values we very much tend to define the elderly body in regards to its deficiencies. We focus on what these bodies CAN NOT accomplish and CAN NOT embody anymore. But then, how can we encounter and perceive the elderly body beyond parameters of performance and qualities.

In her dance piece Antje Velsinger deals with body qualities that are irrelevant for efficiency and for that takes into account her research lead in different geriatric institutions and senior citizen meet ups in Cologne and Hamburg. In a poetic composition including video and sound fragments, objects and the bodies of a thirty-five years and seventy-five years old female dancer a choreography comes to life where boundaries get blurred and oscillate between activity and passivity, isolation and retreat, joy and resignation.

Dreams in a cloudy space wants to amplify all the voices and bodies we usually do not listen to and is a quest for an appropriate attitude towards ageing.


Entrance: tested, vaxinated or recovered.
