Conquer Distance
Hybrid production 'LAND IM LAND' with holographic elements is growing
Since autumn we have been working on LAND IM LAND, our collaboration with the Theater Bielefeld. The project brings together MOUVOIR, Tanz Bielefeld and École des Sables from Senegal. We find hope here in overcoming distance and uniting presence and absence. Where can we find spaces for living together and how can we create a shared rhythm?
First step was our filming in Senegal. To now merge the recordings with the dancers in Bielefeld is almost magical – a 90-minute groove of club, family celebration, village fair and house party.
World premiere is on 14 January 2023.

'LAND IM LAND' is rolling
Rehearsals at Theater Bielefeld have begun
What an adevnture! Our new project, a collaboration with the Theater Bielefeld, is entering the next phase. After filming in Senegal, we are currently rehearsing with dancers from TANZ Bielefeld and the Bielefeld Studio in Bielefeld.
Land im Land is part of the project series “D³ – Dance Discovers Digital” and poses the question of community in times of digitality: What does community mean across borders? How do we encounter others and share a common space when traveling is not an option? How do we come to “vibrate” together? The world premiere is on 14.01.2023. Find motr dates >> here.

Shooting for 'Land im Land' in Senegal
As a preparation for LAND IM LAND, our collaboration with Theater Bielefeld, we are filming in Senegal. With the dancers of Ecole de Sables we are shooting holographic sequences that will be an essential part of not only merging analogue and digital, but also the boundaries of proximity and distance, of presence and absence.
World premiere will be on Jan 14th 2023 as a project of the series D³ – Dance Discovers Digital.
