Contemporary dancers Angela Schubot and Jared Gradinger are presenting their new production Is Maybe at HAU1, Stresemannstr. 28. After the great success of their first duet “What they are instead of” (2009) their second work is continuing their research of ‘debordering’ the body. Can I escape from my own “I” whilst looking for a home in someone else in an unconditional being-together? To answer these questions they collaborate with the US-American street artist Mark Jenkins who is well known for his installations of body doubles in public space that look strikingly real. The piece is performed this week from Thursday to Sunday at 19:30h.
