We are excited to announce our 2022 festival program, DIGI play DANCE! The title is inspired by the lyrics of the song "Ziggy Stardust" and the iconic character of David Bowie, whose 50th anniversary we celebrate this year.
For performing artists, the "digitalization of the concept" seemed to be a messiah that enabled them to speak their expanded imagination to an audience. Will we end up mastered by this new technology, or will we be able to master it and utilize it? This is the open question to be experienced, explored and explained through practice and presence in the digital spaces offered by artists. From 09.09 - 18.09 TANZAHOi will present 32 international dance films and 2 dance stream works at Metropolis Kino, 5 digital dance works at LICHTHOF Theater, and a Fringe Market program in Bewegungsraum. In addition, TANZAHOi is offering dance and digital workshops at Wiese eG, 16.09 - 18.09, as well as social spaces and opportunities to connect with the attending international artists and the local scene.
