art, ideology and man and its confrontation and solidarity are the focus of this full-length performance, a synthesis of different art forms - literature, music, dance, painting and video art - and to set the balance between structure and free choice (Improvisation) eh , lt This performance was inspired by the current socio-critical novel The Sugar Kremlin "(2008) by Russian writer Vladimir Sorokin.
Performance strives for a dialogue at various levels:
- between the actual language of the texts by Vladimir Sorokin, and Tom Schwartz, the particular political and social processes in today's globalized world, naming, and the forms of nonverbal kitchen ; nste that represent these processes symbolically, taking a room for multiple interpretations can
- between the entrenched forms of architecture (Kremlin, Mausoleum, Reichstag, Brandenburg Gate) that have existed for centuries or decades (video on the screen), and "volatile" color gestures and calligraphy of the painter who created the "here and now" and, projected on the screen in front of a moving video, new trends in the interpretation of the text of Sorokin share
- between the ideologically charged, almost menacing buildings of the Kremlin and the Reichstag on the one hand and the vulnerable, sometimes "naive" and "natural", playing now with prevailing cultural norms bodies of the dancers on stage in front of screen
- between the Russian dancer with experience in the field of classical and popular Russian dance tradition and the German dancer, who goes with his dance partner in search of current representations of interpersonal relations, while in various cultural contexts unit and the public with the question of superiority of the human in Sorokin's novel discussed on the ideological and cultural differences faced
- between form and color design on the screen / stage on the one hand and timbres and rhythms of the music on the other. The music form their own semantic and emotional shift, changing images and characters set in a continuum with "Russian" and "German" sound quotes, combines them and interprets them anew.
