UNRESTRICTED CONTACT
by Grupo Oito
One ensemble, many languages, trainings in dance, sexual orientations, social positions. Get Physical is the working method, while dance is the passion. But does that unite us? What happens when we make explicit the heterogeneousness, the predetermined social breaking points that cut right through the ensemble and through the bodies?
Aiming at psychological rehabilitation, Grupo Oito’s ensemble work incorporates questions raised when examining Fanon’s Black Skin, White Masks: Unrestricted Contact as a physical engagement against everyday violence.

Press comments:
„Das Tanz-Ensemble Grupo Oito zeigt im Ballhaus Naunynstraße eine scharfe und ergreifende Analyse vorherrschender kolonialer Strukturen und schafft so tänzerische Begegnungsräume.“

„Shifting from a sensuous, atmospheric opening into moments of explosive empowerment and protest, the piece carried traces of the primal, the tribal and the ritualistic into embodied representations of social injustice and discrimination.“
