In Walking Distance
In Walking Distance
The walks take place as one-to-one encounters between artist and spectator. If the minimum distance of 1.5 meters cannot be maintained, a mouth-nose cover must be worn.
Timeslots: 12.30 | 13.30 | 15.00 | 16.00
Duration: ca. 30 Minuten
Tubes is a set-up of a tube, the Kiez and two people walking and conversing. A construction site fragment is taken for a walk. Or is it a communication channel going for a walk with us? Can the tube tell us something? What is (in) it? What is inside? And where does it lead to?
In times of a pandemic, joint walks are very high in popularity. For weeks in spring, they were the only way to experience the public together. At the same time, distance and fresh air keep the risk of infection as low as possible. And yet every encounter also involves risks. It can create understanding, warmth and intimacy, but sometimes also incomprehension and conflict. Encounters can lead to both closeness and distance.
During the festival, we invite artists and audiences to encounter each other on 1:1 walks, thus offering all those who are not yet drawn back to the theatre spaces with the opportunity for an immediate exchange. What drives us? In times of physical distancing, the dialogue with an unknown opens new perspectives on our relationships.
ACCESSIBILITY INFORMATION
The walk takes about 30 minutes and is unfortunately not suitable for people in wheelchairs or with a rollator. Together with one of the performers, a light, 7-meter-long aluminum pipe will have to be lifted and moved. The walk will be held in German or English spoken language. If the minimum distance of 1.5 meters cannot be kept, a face mask is obligatory. The information on accessibility is continuously updated. If you have any questions or require further information, please contact Gina Jeske at jeske@sophiensaele.com or 030 27 89 00 35.

She has worked with Christine Borch, Martin Nachbar, Ibrahim Quarishi, Gintersdorfer/Klaßen, Sergiu Matis, Tino Sehgal and Meg Stuart.
