SCAPING LANDS - A play about encounters between people, identities and borders

Twenty international young dancers from the two-year training class of bewegungs-art freiburg e.V. present the stage piece "SCAPING LANDS - The Aesthetics of Ambiguity". Under the artistic direction of Belgian choreographer Brandon Lagaert and the choreographic assistance of Sarah Angelucci, the students learn choreographic methods and practise presenting on stage before completing their training as dancers a few months later.

The students have explored the encounter of people, identities and boundaries in a multi-layered way, which Brandon Lagaert has composed into a dynamic piece.

The piece "Scaping Lands" poses the question: What happens when characters who should never meet share the same space? How do they adapt, resist or change through their encounters?

In a world characterized by social, cultural, linguistic and political boundaries, the performance creates a liminal space in which stories and bodies meet, collide and merge. The characters move in a chaotic harmony - driven by inner longings and shaped by external forces. Some lose themselves, others take control, but all are part of an ongoing dance of influence and identity.

When boundaries blur, a central question arises: how do borders and differences shape our sense of self and belonging?
