Description
You can find a trailer for the performance here.
An interview with Julian Weber you can find here.
In “Allongé” Julian Weber continues his interdisciplinary approach, based on an examination of Constantin Brânçusi’s sculptural work in collaboration with a ballet dancer and a pole dancer. Brânçusi’s oeuvre and his pioneering formal and contextual approaches serve as a starting point for the development of a stage set which is investigated for its performative and choreographic potential. Through the collision of the different disciplines and dance styles, both opposites and parallels of these techniques are examined, as well as a potential entanglement of the styles. Further "Allongé" explores the possibilities of emancipation from defined role models and subject/object attributions through a contemporary perspective on tradition and handicraft.

Biographies
July Weber
July Weber (alle Pronomen) is a choreographer, performer, curator, and sculptor. Working at the intersection of choreography and visual art, July explores interactions between body, material, and movement, informed by new materialist approaches and the deconstruction of power relations between human and non-human agents. Collision functions as a central principle—both as a moment of intense encounter and as an overlap of bodies, practices, and disciplines. July presents work internationally, has received awards including the Berlin Art Prize, was invited to Tanzplattform, and founded NEW FEARS, an award-winning gallery for transdisciplinarity.
