Wood Wood Wood – Nothing’s ever good explores the history of the Białowieża Forest on the border between Poland and Belarus. The forest becomes what we choose to see in it: a romantic idyll, a place of refuge – but also a site of resistance and extreme violence.
The performers follow these traces and recount the fate of Jews and partisans during the German occupation, the hunting of both animals and humans, as well as the current situation at this EU external border. This German-Polish production creates a performative acoustic archive that speaks of the history of violence in these “Bloodlands” and of the forest as a refuge for plants, animals, and people. At its center: a DJ at his decks, looping pasts and presents.

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.

You pig, you snake, you dog. We need animals, fear them, care for them, consume them, hunt and worship them. Humans borrow from animals, even to deny other people their humanity. Making of an Animal explores the disturbing depths of animalization. Through movement, video, and live sound dubbing the performers’ bodies become palpable as uncanny yet compelling hybrid forms between human and animal.

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.

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.
