Manchmal diese Unmöglichkeit

Manchmal diese Unmöglichkeit takes as a starting point the previous collaboration as part of the exhibition Manchmal diese Möglichkeit by Simon Gilmer at Zollamt Galerie in Offenbach. Manchmal diese Unmöglichkeit explores the excess in every image and the reconstructability of memory at the interface between dance and scenography. In a searching movement, something is to be approached that cannot yet be recognized.

The performers move and are moved by invisible forces through a series of transformations. They stand in a line, dress and undress continuously, shake bottles of water. Invisible forces like wind that you cannot see directly but notice the sound of the motor, the movement of a shirt or hair.
