Dance: Der Bau 28-29 September 2017
Der Bau ( The Burrow) is an unfinished short story that is written by Franz Kafka. In it, he imagines a mole- like creature burrowing through a tunnel it has established over the course of its life. German choreographer Isabelle Schad and Laurent Goldring reinterpret Kafka’s work in a new adaptation. Schad’s researches focus on body and materiality, as well as the connection between dance, performing arts and fine arts that are normally showcased in international festivals held across the globe. Schad’s adaptation of Der Bau will be showcased at Komunitas Salhara. Tickets are sold for Rp. 75,000 and Rp. 50,000 for students. For more information please visit www.salihara.org.
