The festival Tanz in Bern is cancelled!
Dampfzentrale and all theatres in the canton of Bern will be shut down until the 23rd of November. This includes the cancellation of all performances.
We were looking forward to our yearly ray of light and to getting together with you, our audience. Until the last possible moment we were hoping that Tanz in Bern could happen. «Dear Darkness» caught up with us on the evening before the opening.
Further information will follow at a later stage.
A mysterious, macabre labyrinth opens before our eyes. This dark, disturbing world reveals an unique and extreme language of movement. Peeping Tom’s artistic signature runs through «Diptych» like a thread. It all starts with their familiar take on stage settings: A hallway filled with doors, a cabin on a ship. What then unravels results in unstable universes. Space, time and mood change, fiction breaks free and the hidden is illuminated.
«Diptych» is created with a completely new ensemble, wherein the short pieces «The missing door» and «The lost room», originally developed with the Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT I), are interpreted and woven together into a wondrous tale full of discovery.
Listen to Gabriela Carrizo talk about Diptych (Englisch):
