Portraits of affinities in animal metaphors
In Abecedarium Bestiarium the Berlin-based choreographer Antonia Baehr has invited her friends to write short pieces for her, based on an ABC of extinct animals: D is for Dodo, T is for Tasmanian tiger, S is for Steller's sea cow... The authors choose an extinct animal that they feel strongly about. This brings about heterogenous choreographic miniatures in which they reflect their respective affinity to the chosen animal as well as their friendship to Antonia Baehr.
Presented in collaboration with Goethe-Institut as part of Queer Performance Camp 2018.
This project is co-produced by NXTSTP, with support of the Culture Programme of the European Union La Chapelle presentations are supported by the NATIONALES PERFORMANCE NETZ International Guest Performance Fund for Dance, which is funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media.
