Rollstuhlfahrer*innen Audio description

«Ôss» is the Creole word for bone. Bones have a biological function; they protect our organs and provide a flexible yet strong scaffolding for the body throughout our lives. But they also have a completely different significance; spiritually, for example, they are seen as the keepers and revealers of ancient secrets.

In her latest work, choreographer Marlene Monteiro Freitas tackles these various levels of meaning, shifts parts of the human skeleton and reassembles it. A foot serves as the brain, the heart as an elbow and a knee becomes the liver. The audience can look forward to a visually stunning, opulent performance that is both thoroughly disturbing and oddly satisfying.
