"Gezeiten (Tide)" is a choreography about the subtle and sometimes imperceptible movement of human weight shifting. The performance captures the precious moments between preparation and implementation, orientation in space and change of position. In this way, the production also focuses on the present as a link between the past and the future.
Walking is the main movement in this piece. It involves the audience, who can enter the performance at their own pace, walk through it, enjoy or leave this human 'tide'. The dancers alter their walk through time by listening to their own body and heartbeat. They share this fluid process with the audience and invite them to become the heartbeat of the city and write their own future as a movement.
