Happy Sisyphos (8+)

Hermann Heisig (Berlin)  

21 May 2022 | Potsdamer Tanztage 2022Young dance

Inspired by the idea of a Sisyphus task as an activity that starts over and over again with no foreseeable end, happy sisyphos makes the ancient myth the starting point of an absurd cosmos. Three people, a ladder, a ball and 13 seat cushions come together again and again in songs and rhythmic structures. A collective body emerges, a machinery of building, narrating, singing... dances of futility and repetition that also contain joy in a miraculous way.
