Blonde hair originated around 11,000 years ago as a genetic mutation in northern Europe. Only two percent of people are naturally blonde. A relatively rare phenomenon—and therefore desirable for some. Blonde hair is associated with youth, attractiveness and purity and a wide variety of statements are made with blonde hair: social advancement or rebellion and independence. At the same time, being blonde has become a symbol of whiteness. With a mixed cast of “non-blondes”, Four Non Blondes explores the many nuances of blondeness, incorporating the cultural history of blonde hair and the personal experiences of the performers.

Christoph Winkler is one of Germany's most distinguished and versatile choreographers. His work covers a broad spectrum of formats and ranges from very personal to political themes. Under the umbrella of the “Company Christoph Winkler”, he brings together dancers from all over the world to work together as temporary collectives on a wide range of topics. Since 1996, Winkler has created more than 90 dance pieces as a freelance artist. In 2014, he won the German Theater Prize DER FAUST of the German Stage Association in the category “Best Choreography” with Das Wahre Gesicht. In 2016, DER FAUST was once again awarded to one of his productions, when Aloalii Tapu was named “Best Dancer” for the solo Urban Soul Café. Winkler was also the initiator and curator of The Witch Dance Project and the FanFic Festival. In recent years, he has performed several musically inspired productions such as Ernest Berk - The Complete Expressionist, Julius Eastman - Speak Boldly or We Are Going To Mars with great success. In 2020, Christoph Winkler was awarded a George Tabori award and in May 2022 he received the German Dance Award.
