Forces of Nature
verschoben/postponed by Ivana Müller
Dear audience,
We’re deeply sorry to announce that despite our joint efforts, a presentation of FORCES OF NATURE in the frame of "Open Spaces: How to get in Touch with…“ this October will not be possible.
The changing and increasing regulations in the frame of the Covid-19 pandemic convinced us that shifting the presentation of this performance in Berlin for next year would be the best possible decision for everyone involved.
We hope to see you soon. Until than, take care and be well.

Forces of Nature re-questions the idea of group movements in their physical, social and environmental contexts. How and why are they created, what is their potential and what are their effects on the immediate and distant surroundings?
Based on these reflections, Forces of Nature follows a movement of an articulate and complex organism composed of five bodies (persons) with different energies and ideas. Their desires might not be the same, but they have a common goal: the construction of a physical and imaginary space that they share.Their negotiations become their movements; their questions become their score.
The piece thus becomes a journey through a landscape in permanent transformation, composed of gestures, words and relationships that question the meaning and potential of what we have “in common”, the notion of interdependence, the sustainability of resources, the importance of care, the idea of the effort, the relevance of the individual and collective choices, and the necessity to act.

Ivana Müller
Ivana Müller is a choreographer, artist and author of texts.

Croatian born, Paris based award winning artist, Ivana Müller has been creating and performing work over the last 15 years in the international dance/theatre context and occasionally in the visual arts frames, amongst others Venice Art Biennale 2015.
