RESCUE

Performance on the (im)possibility of rescue

Rescue is the focus of this performance by choreographer Silke Grabinger. What happens if I don’t want to be rescued? Or if, when rescuing someone else, I am really trying to rescue myself? We are used to watch scenes of rescue, be it in a TV-series or in Reality-TV, but how close do we look?
“Rescue” opens questions concerning the possibility of being rescued. How far can I be rescued? When do I have to rescue myself? Can I rescue someone else? Choreographer Silke Grabinger uses personal stories and impressive images to tell stories about everyday life with characters we all know. We know them from school, from our families, from the streets… Rescue is a reflective piece full of situations that – like in reality – arise, disappear, change and touch and again and again the same point of departure. But where is this story going and how is the spectator involved?
