Hernan / Leuenberger: enter my bubble

Contemporary barn dancing? A marketing slogan for Swiss tourism? A balancing act between

cliché and profundity?

 

Viewers are invited to join a western Swiss female dancer and a German Swiss male dancer for a trip to where each of them hails from. Katy and Chris search for their roots while taking the audience on a tour through a picturesque landscape of lush grassy meadows and snow-covered peaks. They divest themselves of layer upon layer of their identities, discovering their lost innocence, memories of fondue dinners and, inevitably, the Röstigraben. All of this is done in the hope of retrieving a sense of belonging.

The concept for this piece was awarded the premio förderpreis 2007. In its present realisation it is a co-production between Dampfzentrale Bern and the hetveem theater Amsterdam, with support from Migros-Kulturprozent, Ernst Göhner Foundation, Paul Schiller Foundation and Oertli Foundation.
