Touch
PREMIERE 08/10/2020
Münchner Kammerspiele
»Falk Richter takes the titular theme of touch as a starting point for an associative, all-encompassing exploration, where individual experiences of loneliness—possibly shared by many—intersect with global issues such as the climate crisis, animal cruelty that spreads viruses, and much more, with the COVID-19 pandemic serving as a central and timely focal point.«

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.
