The editta braun company presents the piece 'PROXIMITY' as part of the tanz_house Festival, a unique dance performance created in collaboration with the tanz_house association. The performance offers an immersive experience where the audience becomes part of the presentation from a special perspective. The spectators find themselves in an intimate setting, lying on their backs with their heads on a cushion, surrounded by music and sounds. Above them, the dancer's body hovers, seemingly weightless, separated by an invisible glass ceiling, creating a special closeness and distance at the same time.
The artistic director is Editta Braun, who, together with her team of artists, creates distinctive dance pieces characterized by an expressive, theatrical style and social criticism. The editta braun company is internationally renowned and performs at prestigious festivals in Europe, Africa, and Asia. The experiences and impressions they gather on their travels flow into their creative processes, giving the performances a special aura and strength.
The stage design is created by Menie Weissbacher, while the compositions are by Thierry Zaboitzeff. These musical works contribute to the uniqueness of the performance through their diversity and yet specific recognizability. The lighting design by Thomas Hinterberger and the tailoring by Cvetanka Mojsovski also contribute to the atmospheric density of the piece. The photography by Bettina Frenzel captures the special moments of the performance. The piece lasts a total of 30 minutes and allows the audience to immerse themselves in a world where the boundaries between observer and observed blur.
