Operation Orpheus

Deutschland-Premiere by Jule Fierl
In the frame of 9. Tanznacht Berlin 2016

“Operation Orpheus“ is an anachronistic aria. Twisting through the centuries, the drama – Orpheus and Eurydice – dissects the organs of cultural memory and operatic flesh, undermining and violating contemporary taste. In what is tantamount to a ritual, Jule Flierl samples conventions of the body and strips them of their authority, creating a vocal dance that embodies an ahistorical character: classical song and the gestural language of romantic ballet flow simultaneously out of one body.

Concept/Choreography/Performance: Jule Flierl | Productionmanagement: David Eckelmann | Costume: Dorothée Henon |  With support from: Exerce Montpellier, LaPanacée Montpellier, Kunsthaus KuLe Berlin | Special thanks to: Adaline Anobile, Sorour Darabi, Julie Gouju, Anne Kerzerho, Loic Touzé, Zoë Knights.

Jule Fierl

Jule Fierl is a dance and voice artist from Berlin. Her practice lives between experimental choreography and somatic singing methods, in which she develops scores to unsettle the relationship between seeing and hearing. She revives and continues the legacy of Valeska Gert, avant-garde dancer from 1920's Berlin, who first conceptualized the term SoundDance: to dance with one's voice. She hosts the voice performance series FROM BREATH TO MATTER in Berlin. For 2021/22 she collaborates in different formats with choreographer Antonia Baehr and SoundDance artist Irena Z. Tomazin.
