Under my Gaze

The sun gazes upon the Earth, creating and destroying life; it is the engine on which our ecosystems depend.

The dance piece “Under my Gaze” is an energetic and poetic quartet consisting of three people and an inflated object that is moved by the sun and wind. This inflated sculpture, which is called “Aerocene,” embodies the natural forces that surround us. It connects the earth-bound dancers with the dynamics of the wind and the radiant power and unavoidable influence of the sun.

Through headphones, the public is connected to the rhythmic stamping of the dancers and the ethereal flight of the Aerocene, transforming the open sky over the Unteren Luisenpark into a meditative cosmos. There, they can experience the delicate interplay of force and form, the natural and human. 

The performance is open to everyone. The headphones and seats are reserved for ticket holders.
