Anila Mazhari & Jessica van Rüschen
a double bill dance evening by Anila Mazhari and Jessica van Rüschen with the of curious nature ensemble.
For adults and kids from 12 yrs upwards.
The Future is like Whisper Yelling (choreography by Anila Mazhari):
With her new work Anila Mazhari seeks to find hindsight before it is too late, exploring an imagined future as it relates to how we spend our time and how avidly we participate in our own lives. Hatched within the chaos of the year 2020, Anila Mazhari endeavors with this work, to reflect on where we are by imagining where we could end up. The focus however is less on the structural shape of society but rather the inner landscape of the individual.
The Pleasure and Pain of not Knowing My Name (choreography by Jessica van Rüschen)
We are curious. We want knowledge. At the same time we choose to ignore knowledge as much as we choose to avoid becoming informed. We avoid having to make undesirable decisions that such information might prompt. Pretending not to know is a typical human trait when we want to abdicate responsibility or take action. ‘The pleasure and pain of not knowing my name’ by Jessica van Rüschen aims to create a poetic chapter around the quote of Thomas Gray: ‘Where ignorance is bliss ‘tis folly to be wise.”
