D-Construction

D-Construction is an energetic hip hop performance featuring a giant metal scaffold at its centre. The members of the audience will be seated on tanzhaus nrw’s Grand Stage, watching each other through the scaffolding’s struts and wire gauzes. Six performers begin a danced interaction with the object that is simultaneously keeping them captive and protecting them. They join forces to form a group and create a unity, only to immediately disperse again, re-claiming their uniqueness. D-Construction connects, inspires, and destroys to create something new.

Compagnie Dyptik was founded by choreographers Mehdi Meghari and Souhail Marchiche in France’s Saint-Étienne in 2012. Casually and with great confidence, Compagnie Dyptik has, since then, presented pieces dealing with issues such as identity, diversity, and the body. In their themes, they explore what it means to be a human being. Sometimes to exhaustion.

We will present D-Construction twice in a row on the occasion of the Nacht der Museum/ Night of the Museums on April 22^nd. In addition to the performances, you will have the opportunity to participate in several Open Studio offerings during the Nacht der Museen / Night of the Museums.
