Dance performance about tradition in the diaspora
The 81-year-old performer Naniek K. grew up in Indonesia as a court dancer in the classical Surakarta tradition. In 1978, she moved to Berlin to start a career as a model. This performance is an intimate portrait of an extraordinary artist.
She is accompanied by music from sound artists Rose & Zach, who combine Javanese gamelan with electronic synthesizers.

Innovative dance, alternative theatre, and music festivals can be discovered here in the rooms of an old craftsmen's clubhouse. Gender issues and queer artists are part of the cultural canon - the best known are the Tanztage (Dance Days) in August.
