How do the interruptions in the way we live together, the way we organize ourselves politically, and the way we do business, touch the biographies and bodies of the performers? Physical touching and proximity transform from a sign of affection into a potential threat. Falk Richter and the choreographer Anouk van Dijk contemplate, together with their ensemble, a phase of profound upheaval in their very personal creative work-in-progress that is positioned between dance and theater.

Commissioned by the Münchner Kammerspiele 2020/21 is »Touch« a powerful theatrical exploration of isolation, fear, and the longing for connection in pandemic times. Through fragmented voices of “restless humans,” the play captures loneliness, loss of control, and the impossibility of touch. Between digital alienation, social division, and apocalyptic imagery, Richter composes a polyphonic chronicle of the state of emergency — a raw, poetic, and deeply political reflection on bodies, distance, and the fragile hope for intimacy in an unsettled world.
