In the form of a choreographic hike away from representative theater spaces, the interdisciplinary project “Terrestrial Transit” explores the critical potential of improvisational practice. In view of the rise of right-wing authoritarian politics and against the background of political protests, especially in Hungary and Poland, the ensemble is testing alternative modes of participation and cooperation, exchange and storytelling.

This work forms the conclusion of a journey that began in the Sophiensaele via the Brandenburg residential town of Ponderosa via Szczecin to the Polish Baltic Sea, accompanied by the filmmaker Stella Horta. In an installation and durational setting, dance improvisation, video, sound, autobiographical memories and historical events flow into one another, opening up questions about the potential of improvisational practice, participation and resistance.
