Charmatz

Wundertal / Sonnborner Straße

»We are living through frightening, paralysing times. Instead of freezing our fears and worries, we can let out our energy. The dance on the Sonnborner Straße will turn into a flowing dance, a screaming dance, a dance that protests, a dance of zombies. There are moments of love, of goodbye, of escape, of death ... a corridor of extreme emotions.«

The project’s first edition, entitled Sea Change, was a commission for the opening of the Manchester International Festival 2021.
