KARKEROU
SMADAR GOSHEN

Two performers sit behind each other on a white stage. Their arms extend outward and upward while holding white spheres decorated with eye motifs. The symmetrical arrangement merges bodies and objects into a unified visual form.
Two performers move across a bright white stage. One lies stretched out on the floor while the other kneels with the upper body leaning forward. A cube-shaped object in the background complements the minimal stage setting.
Two performers appear behind a dark horizontal edge against a white background. Several raised arms hold spherical objects decorated with blue eye motifs. The arrangement creates a sculptural composition of bodies, objects, and directions of gaze.

Synopsis

The animal and plant universe in Karkerou is both fascinating and mysterious. All living creatures construct their own particular world there and adapt ingeniously to their surroundings. Above all, the animals and plants talk to each other. Although we humans can often only guess what they might be telling each other.

Together with two dancers, the young audience goes on a voyage of discovery through movement. Which creatures will they meet? Will they be shy and hide? Or will they be excited and rush about? Will they make strange noises? Maybe they will freeze or change their shape? Many things only seem rather strange at first sight, everything is really very different from how we might think.

The mobile dance piece Karkerou that also visits children directly at school stops off at the Mousonturm as part of Tanzfestival Rhein-Main. A piece that invites its viewers to experience dance, music and fantastic creatures directly and immediately.
