Better a bird in the hand than … okay, screw it, I’ll do it differently now! Performance by Oskar Spatz with Tim Gerhards

“My name is Oskar Spatz. I’m a dancer, I’ve been dancing since 2007. My shoe size is 40/41. I weigh 70 kilos and my favourite food is rice with mince. I usually dance with my colleagues. But today I’m alone on stage. I’m looking forward to spending this evening with you. Because togetherness is warmth.”

Oskar Spatz turns his life upside down – together with Tim Gerhards. This special evening of dance is about successes and setbacks, about art, being human and his private life.

Oskar himself once decided to become a dancer. At the time, he didn’t know exactly what that meant. But he knew that he wanted it. He almost always knows what he wants.

Even now he has made a decision: He’s going on stage alone. In an hour-long solo show, he demonstrates what self-determination means – and what it’s like to live and work in a community. He invites everyone to be his guests.” Press release
