„This time, it wasn't a word that began things, but two images: a quadriga as a symbol of power and the game known in German as „Journey to Jerusalem.“. What is power? How is it demonstrated and negotiated? And Who has a place in the room, or is expelled from it? And what do belonging and membership have to do with it?
In the tension between these two poles, we went into research in the studio. A new journey of discovery with Alfred Quarshie and Tamara Rettenmund, both long-time dancers with the FORWARD DANCE COMPANY, the guest dancer Shmuel Dvir Cohen and the choreographer Ofra Idel. Two and a half weeks of work confronted us with ourselves and showed us that what is created in the studio is not detached from the world.“
