Spectacular Failures

Difficult times demand wild dances! To fulfil expectations, we are pulled into the wake of our self-imposed rituals on a daily basis. If you are too slow, if you fail to integrate into the group, if you question the system, you will be sacked! No job, no money, no likes. Therefore, every day: Get up, get dressed, train, deliver, serve, create content, get feedback. If one serves the first demands, higher ones will immediately arise. In this newest performing:group performance, four dancers try out continuously new scenes and choreographies on stage – it is not an option not to fail. Spectacular Failure is a merciless spectacle. Every time, time and again. Every performance is a world premiere! Disaster is the new teatime.

performing:group is a six-piece ensemble for dance and theatre from Cologne and was founded in 2013 by Leandro Kees, Julia Mota Carvalho, Daniel Mathéus and Martin Rascher. Since then, they have been touring internationally, mainly with their productions TRASHedy and Chalk About, which also guested at tanzhaus nrw. Additionally, they stage plays in different constellations at municipal theatres.
