HEAVEN

TANZCOMPAGNIE OLDENBURG (2008)

Whether one takes a look at Dante‘s Divine Comdey, the Talmud or the Koran – in all those works heaven is presented as another and better world. Like eden and paradise, it is a symbol for a place of peace and eternal bliss. In heaven we can find freedom and fulfillment. Guy Weizman and Roni Haver explore the mystery and myths around that divine place. And in many cases, the only way to get to heaven is by passing through hell.

Spirituelle Erleuchtung, religiöses Märtyrertum, sexuelle Erfüllung oder materieller Reichtum – im sehnsuchtsvollen, fordernden Tanz der Zehn auf der Bühne nehmen sie Gestalt an: mal naiv phantastisch, dann brutal direkt, oder oberflächlich skurril. […] HEAVEN, das ist Tanztheater zum mit- und nachdenken.
