"es heisst, sie wohnten in kleinen hotels…" draws from material about the French writer Jean Genet and was first shown in December 2018. (Premiere: December 15, 2018, schwere reiter, Munich)

The person featured in "deviant answers – local time" from 2017 is to be guessed. The logic of movement and dance undermines the presumed precision of language and its fixations. It revolves around approaches to situations and individuals – the familiarity of the artists, their background, and their works serve as the invisible framework for a choreographic journey between and beyond the words.
