Two performers move among mysterious objects that resemble stones and fragments of a landscape. Surrounded by the audience, this strange terrain slowly begins to transform. In THINGS at the End of the World, Alfredo Zinola creates a poetic playground between dance, object theatre, and imagination.
Stones are shifted, distances emerge and dissolve again, while unexpected elements appear - an uneasy, earth-like ball, shimmering slime, and small stones that seem to move on their own. With gentle humour and curiosity, the piece invites children and adults alike to rediscover the living presence of things - and to approach the mystery of nature with wonder and attentive awareness.
Alfredo Zinola is an Italian performer and choreographer based in Germany who works with producer Micaela Kühn under the name Alfredo Zinola productions. After early theatre experiences in Turin, he studied Intercultural Communication at the University of Turin and later trained in contemporary dance at the Folkwang University of the Arts. His works often emerge from artistic collaborations and explore dance as a form of empathetic communication. They have been presented at festivals across Europe, South America, Asia and Australia. In 2021 he received the Performing Arts Prize of the city of Düsseldorf.
