Die Dinge in meiner Hand | Gerhard Bohner | 1979

Choreography: Bohner, Gerhard | Clip length: 1’14 min

 

For me, the exciting thing about Bremen was the new beginning with a new generation of dancers. I had never worked with such young dancers before. Things were props that had become so important to me through my involvement with the Bauhaus and Schlemmer. It was impossible to estimate how endless it would become. There was an incredible amount of material that was put together like a collage according to the dance theatre principle. I had the feeling that each scene was incredibly important, and of course the time passed. The content was, if you want to put it fancy, a reification, not to lose the relation to things, which has become a problem in our century, after all.”
