Performance: Yaku Samay – Atem des Wassers

“I called my world Earth, but I thought it should really be called Water” (Maja Lunde)
The mixedabled dance piece Yaku Samay takes the essence of water as a metaphor to artistically explore the connection between humans and nature.
The diversity in quality and intensity of the element is reflected in the movement and sound of the dancers, transforming them into deeply human forms of expression.
As the source of life, water symbolizes a universal, reliable constant – the sound of waves, the flow of rivers, the cyclical nature of water in a dramaturgy of a permanent cycle in and around the earth.
Six dancers and a movement choir immerse themselves in the facets of water and create a sensual experience from the perspective of their lived experience, in which the boundaries between body, sound and water dissolve.

Residency: Atelier Mondial - Tijuana, Mexico
2026-09-01 - 2026-09-30
In 2026, choreographer and dancer Rebecca Mary Narum undertakes a one-month research residency in Tijuana, Mexico, together with Chilean choreographer Andrea Lagos Neumann. Supported by Atelier Mondial the project explores Danzas Fronterizas—the transborder dance practice developed by Mexican choreographer and dance scholar Minerva Tapia. By engaging directly with Tapia and the artistic community along the Tijuana–San Diego border, the duo will immerse themselves in the cultural, political, and emotional realities that shape this choreographic language.
This residency forms the initial phase of a new dance-theater production on borders and undocumented migration, created from their perspectives as non-EU artists living in the Tri-Regio (France–Germany–Switzerland). Through embodied research, interviews, border visits, and studio explorations, they investigate how border experiences are carried, transformed, and expressed through the body. The research will culminate in a work-in-progress presentation in Tijuana and has plans to continue to develop into a full-length production premiering in Freiburg in 2027.
This residency is funded by Atelier Mondial.
