We sweated, warped, framed and, above all, danced!

In WARPSCAPES, Landscapes are created, which the dancers inhabit as not-only-human creatures, which they design and examine, which they observe and in which they disappear. Discovering distortions and amplifying them, warping is the central method in order to approach the constant and contradictory changes in the living world – without having to negate its artificiality.

Sergiu Matis is a Romanian choreographer living in Berlin since 2008. His dance practice can be understood as a tireless search in physical and digitalized archives. His performances provoke intense experiences that break with expectations, point to a new understanding of dance and reflect the complexity of our time.

He is creating a new work for Die Dresden Frankfurt Dance Company for the double bill WELCOME, which premieres in Frankfurt on 26. April 26 and can be seen in Dresden from 17. May 2024.
