Presentation

Between Paris and Berlin, choreographer Johana Malédon and scenographer Felicia Riegel exchange letters. From afar, they build a relationship, imagine forms, project gestures. They meet on stage for the first time. What they wrote comes face to face with reality: bodies come into play, matter reacts, intentions shift. Dear explores this moment of change when meeting the other transforms what one imagined to let a shared form emerge. 

파리와 베를린 사이의 서신으로 관계를 시작하여, 마침내 조아나 말레동과 펠리시아 리겔은 무대 위에서 조우한다. 이 대면은 그녀들이 멀리서 상상해 왔던 모든 것을 바꿔놓는다.
