CANK

In der Karl-Marx-Straße 95 verschmelzen Ballett und elektronische Klänge zu einer großflächigen Inszenierung. Auf 2000 Quadratmetern eines ehemaligen Kaufhauses setzt sich die Performance mit dem menschlichen Drang zur Selbstoptimierung auseinander. Choreografin Soraya Schulthess und das Ensemble Ballet Sur_real verbinden klassische Tanzformen mit zeitgenössischer Technik. Die räumliche Gestaltung durch Video- und Medieninstallationen lässt die Grenzen zwischen Architektur und Körperbewegung verschwimmen. Die einstündige Performance wird von einem elektronischen Soundtrack begleitet. Vor Beginn der Vorstellung bleibt Zeit für einen Drink im installativen Umfeld des Gebäudes.

CANK is a new ballet set to electronic music about desire, happiness and the endless promise of becoming a better version of ourselves. In a culture increasingly shaped by self-optimization, the work explores our desire to change, improve and become, and the expectations we place on ourselves along the way. The piece asks what happens to love, desire and intimacy when our inner lives become an ongoing project of reflection and transformation. Conceived as a fully immersive experience, spatialized video installations and a new media work extend throughout the entire 2000m2 space, forming an unified environment through which the audience moves and in which choreography, image and architecture unfold together. The Performances Ballet Sur_real, is the official ballet ensemble of DANCÆ, fuses classical ballet with electronic music, integrating immersive installations and innovative technologies into its choreographic language. The creations draw on contemporary life while delving into the deeper psychological motives that drive human behavior.
