Friedemann Vogel by Roman Novitzky

After Not in my hands, Friedemann Vogel is once again joining forces with visual artist and choreographer Thomas Lempertz, this time to try his hand at co-choreographing a full-length work: Die Seele am Faden/Soul Threads. Inspired by Henrich von Kleist’s “About the Puppet Theatre”, this new solo will explore how the natural can arise from the unnatural, the touching from the artificial and the graceful from the trained, and have its world premiere at the Kleist Forum in Frankfurt Oder on 9th and 10th February 2024.  DETAILS & TICKETS
