ORBIT

Selfies and rituals, politics and performance, tutorials and survival of the self. Reality has long been a post-digital one – countless practices that have emerged on the internet have been transferred to the rituals of analogue life. The virtuoso voice expert performs here both as herself and as a character. Using song, dance and video, she addresses the question of how the voice retains – or loses – its place in this multitude of forms of expression.

Inspired by found pieces from the Internet, the performance collages set pieces, moments of living, showing, learning, appropriating and forgetting on the Internet, from DIY to professional, from profane to virtuoso, from amusingly entertaining to deadly serious. Contemporary “private-public”, hybrid (self-)presentation forms: A dance with the social dimensions preand post-Internet.

Works by Brigitta Muntendorf, Jennifer Walshe, George Crumb, Meredith Monk and Frauke Aulbert, as well as a homage to Nina Hagen.

Made possible by the revival and guest performance funding of the Dachverband freie darstellende Künste Hamburg with funds from the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, Ministry of Culture and Media.
