ZEITGENÖSSISCHER ABEND
A journey into curiosity, connection, and the beautiful complexity of being human. Through playfulness, vulnerability, humour, and intimate physical dialogue, these works explore how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and how our individual worlds begin to shift when they meet.
From the playful questioning of Kinga Varga’s CO - CO - NUT, where personal stories, dreams, and perspectives come together to form a mosaic of who we are, to the delicate search for connection in Asia Fedon and Laura Russo’s So Basic, where two individuals navigate the space between identity and togetherness, each work offers a different perspective on the ways we shape and are shaped by one another. Laura Guy’s Are You Coming to My Pyjama Party? invites us into an intimate, beautifully messy world of collective vulnerability, celebrating the tenderness, contradictions, and shared rituals of womanhood.
Together, these works create a vibrant and emotionally rich contemporary dance experience, where individuality meets collectivity, humour embraces tenderness, and movement becomes a language for the things that are difficult to explain. A space for curiosity, discovery, and the freedom to connect without losing ourselves in the process.

CO - CO - NUT
Choreographer : Kinga Varga
Length 40 min
No big drama, no heavy answers, just a playful look at where we are, what we believe in and what makes us curious about tomorrow. We don't have all the answers, but it is okay, we will figure it out. The piece is shaped by the dancers' own backgrounds, ideas, thoughts and dreams, bringing their individual prospectives together like pieces of a puzzle, creating a mosaic of who we are.
So Basic
Choreographers : Asia Fedon & Laura Russo (DART Dance Company)
Length 20 min
Something so hard to explain, yet so basic.
Two people search for a connection through layers of identity, movement, and each other. What begins as an individual search slowly becomes a shared experience, exploring how the things we encounter shape us, change us, and sometimes make us lose ourselves.
Perhaps, in the end, connection is not about finding a way to exist together without becoming the same, but about discovering how to be changed by one another without losing who we are.
Are You Coming to My Pyjama Party?
Choreographer : Laura Guy
Length 25 min
The work is a choreographic celebration of collective vulnerability and the cultural codes of intimacy, where the tenderness of sleepovers and the beautiful messiness of womanhood unfold in an intimate world that feels at once domestic and sacred.
