Elephant Man (60 minutes) This dance piece is inspired by the movie "The Elephant Man" directed by David Lynch. It portrays the true story of Joseph Carey Merrick, a tragically deformed yet charming and intelligent Englishman. It is a matter of concern for Aleksandra M. Crossan to portray human peculiarities and deformities on stage. Whereas in her prior pieces these peculiarities were "invisible" defects, now she is interested in the obvious. Choreography by Aleksandra Mirjana Crossan, Dance by Sabine Schindler, Thomas Dietlicher, Jennifer Matheja, Audrey Borthayre, Zoltan Farago, Oeil Extérieur by Laura Atwood, Music by Earthphish, Costumes by Karin Engeli, Light by Tina Bleuler, Stage Design by Dani Boller If I had a child (20 minutes) A time of tenderness? Maybe a time of a quiet and a bit awkward tenderness. The choreography depicts the inner emotional twists of a family that has crossed set limits. A dance of anguish: the father incestuous, the mother indifferent, the daughter suffering while the sister tries in vain to create some warmth. Choreography by Aleksandra Mirjana Crossan, Dance by Sabine Schindler, Thomas Dietlicher, Jennifer Matheja, Renata Schiess, Music by Earthphish, Costumes by Karin Engeli, Photo by Nicofoto Beyond Henry (20 minutes) "Beyond Henry" features the relationship of people with diverse characters to a fixed place (on stage), symbolically representing life. As you make your bed, so you must lie on it. The atmosphere is surreal, dreamlike, the characters in the dance reduced to their very intentions.
