Five artists explore young children’s impulsive, intuitive approach to art making and their desire to posses their own bodies.
I love everyone I know!
The discovery of their own bodies and the intensity of their first confrontations with their environment often drive children to intense artistic creation.
I love everyone I know! features original musical works by toddlers and vocal explorations by babies, removed from their intimate, family context and performed by professional musicians.
The five performers with their shaped and clocked bodies, try to grasp the chilrens`s desire to make use of one's own legs and arms as well as the choreographies that arise when feelings and needs simultaneously captivate the entire body, enabling them to once again become impulsively creative themselves.
Part of the children's art canon are also graphics and painting with their high degree of abstraction as well as spoken poetry, which due of its gaps in understanding the world impresses with surprising contexts of meaning – together they form the basis for this music/theater/art/dance piece.
Woman with cake/The fear of dying without having given birth
(6-channel video installation, recommended from age 14)
"Hit the Lukas so that it splashes on the walls!“ (dt. Hau den Lukas, dass es an die Wände spritzt!“) spoke Endruweit's grandmother, devouring the last piece of cake of her life. But the search for comfort and satisfaction through sweets is in vain if basic emotional needs are not satisfied.
Kindergarten teacher, locksmith, Hollywood actor, samba teacher – six men dance until exhaustion in their living rooms. The tragic romance of a woman, longing for maternal happiness with the humor of a desperate woman.
