CHORUS / GROOVE SPACE

After productions in Berlin and Zurich, the Freiburg based “chorus / groove space” is the third part of the “groove space” series, in which Sebastian Matthias and his team explore the specific physicality of different cities.

How do the rhythm and the tempo of a city inscribe themselves into the choreography, and what is specific about each city? In Freiburg, Sebastian Matthias translates the groove of the city onto the big stage of the theatre and creates a space that dancers, audiences and a choir of 15 amateurs share with each other. Accompanied by household appliances, the choir will perform a composition based on Theater Freiburg’s opera repertory by Michael Wolters, who has also composed the music for “Danserye” (2013).
