UND JETZT? Reut Shemesh COBRA BLONDE

20 Uhr
5 / 9 / 18 / 25 EUR

COBRA BLONDE crosses an apparent boundary between two worlds of expression that rarely touch: traditional German guard dancing and contemporary art. At the core of choreographer Reut Shemesh’s trespassing is the manifestation of gender roles and female representation during traditional carnival festivities. Between the prevalent approach in contemporary dance to emphasize the individuality and the power of community from which the dance guard draws, an unusual aesthetic emerges, as well as a political forcefield. With COBRA BLONDE, Reut Shemesh directs the gaze onto a desire for representation of an authentic identity – if such a thing can even exist. The process started in 2018 as a research project under the working title WITNESS, by an invitation of tanzhaus nrw Düsseldorf.
