We live with animals. We fear them, care for them, consume them, hunt them, and worship them. But what an unstable ground we have made. We need animals and yet we abuse them—not least to deny other people their humanity: You monkey, you snake, you dog.
Making of an Animal explores and blurs these uneasy boundaries of animalization, questions the consequences of relating others to animals while reflecting on our deeper human-animal ties. In Quindell Orton’s performance, three performers prowl over and dig up this terrain using movement, video, and live sound-dubbing to frame and reframe their bodies as something between human and animal in real-time.
After the great success of Making of a Man, Quindell Orton’s latest piece can be experienced as a world premiere at the rodeo Festival.

Alina Belyagina’s dance performance moves between a night at the club, vogueing, and folk ritual. It unfolds as a choreographic landscape without a center, where body, light, sound, and movement are held in constant flux. The performance opens a space between resistance and radical hope – culminating in the circle dance Khorovod/Kolo as a pulsating finale.

At the center of this happening is a beetle. Much like Gregor Samsa in The Metamorphosis, it becomes the target of aggression and violence. Or does it? The audience alone decides how far it is willing to go. Let he who is without sin cast the first apple.

The Białowieża Forest, located between Poland and Belarus, is a primeval forest, a biotope, and, to this day, a scene of extreme violence. In the German-Polish production “Wood Wood Wood”, four performers explore the turbulent history of this region on the EU’s external border. And right in the middle of it all: a DJ at his console, busy looping the past and the present.

Hands up — this is a robbery! Two characters set out to pull off a heist, but it soon becomes about far more than money. Raub und Besitz is a riotous blend of songs, stand-up, agitprop, and video that, across Turkish, Kurdish, English, and German, asks who really owns what: land, language, wealth, and the power to shape the narrative.
