In our present times, we often feel a never-ending danger, even if we are not directly affected by the consequences of international conflicts and catastrophes. In order not to get lost in a maelstrom of fears and seemingly simple solutions, it is important to preserve spaces for thinking and for empathic encounters. Poetically, critically and also humorously, the dance ensemble takes a kaleidoscopic trip to raise the questions: Where are we at, both as individuals and as a community, psychologically and physically speaking? Which heritage do we carry and what possible future lies ahead? Do we have to free ourselves from any individual and collective memory and trauma so that a different way of life is possible at all? And do we even want that?
