Sita Ostimer – “Inevitability and You” (Road to Catalonia)
The dance in “The Inevitable and You” is the vehicle for this inner struggle of being in a relationship. The piece unfolds in a continuous flow of movement, a dynamic choreographic structure that never stops. One movement begins the next; the dancers instinctively respond to each other, creating an atmosphere of endless intensity.
Seta Ostheimer Berlin-based choreographer. In 2017, she founded Sita Ostheimer, a project-based platform that brings together dance artists as well as music composer and lighting designer Barnaby Booth as core members.

Estefania Dondi – “Rituals of Catharsis (Anti)”
… Silent Catharsis Evolves… Unspoken words and actions come out, the body of silence transforms and surrenders to the sweet pleasure of your senses. A mixture of memories and recollections spoken from my body. Personal, absurd, private catharsis, with and without meaning.

Cooperative Mora Morales – “Just stay, you are so beautiful!” (Estrina to Catalonia)
This is perhaps the most famous gamble in world literature: Goethe’s Faust strikes Mephistopheles once, it is about his soul and one whole moment. Faust thus becomes directly in touch with his present presence and connects with the temporal quality of the moment. We have all experienced it: perfect timing. We are all aware of how fleeting all experiences are, and yet we always want to fight it. Living in the moment is one thing. Accepting its transience is another. In this piece, the Mora Morales Collaborative dedicates itself to the magic of the moment and its infinite finitude.
The main core of Mora Morales Cooperative Society Consists of dancer/choreographer Maura Morales And the composer Michio WergardtDepending on the concept and scope of the respective project, the ensemble is expanded to include other artists. The company, which has been established since 2010, has performed in numerous theatre productions and is one of the most touring independent companies (nationally and internationally) in Germany, with tours of up to 50 guest performances per year.

Elili – I am wood
I made the decision to manage my anger through woodworking. I use 6 sticks. Each weighs 3kg, which meant a lot of effort for me to handle and dance with them throughout the piece. Thus, I symbolize the feelings of anger from heaviness, instability and steadfastness in achieving my goals without losing my composure. After studying shiatsu for three years, I discovered that each of us has a dominant element (water, fire, earth, air, wood). That’s when I met mine. Wood. An element with different characteristics such as flexibility, the power of choice and anger as an emotion. As a woman, I rejected it until I realized that my anger is an endless will and a component of my being. This anger sometimes drove me to a hysterical state where I lost control of myself, and my refuge was to never stop dancing. Repression and aggression lead to destruction. So how can I use this power to bring justice to my life?
