FernNah (Jana Korb und phyla)

An aerial performance in a tree

An homage to Marguerite Porète, this performance shows an aerial dance and new music in an interpretation of her The Mirror of the Simple Soul: a dialogue between soul, reason, love, morality and other beings. Her thoughts are dissected into fragments. With electronic editing, we weave text, sound and voice fragments into minimal music: a many-voiced dialogical texture.

» Jana Korb und phyla

In Jana Korb’s artistic research, she searches for and finds outstanding yet forgotten women whose stories she works with using the tools of aerial artistry. Jennie Zimmermann and Gisbert Schürig are phyla. The duo phyla combine minimal music and improvisation to create sound surfaces of lyrical tenderness and archaic force woven from voices between the scarcely audible to rumbling throat singing, supported with electronic sounds.

» Theaterhaus Berlin Mitte

Theaterhaus Berlin provides independent performers with an essential requirement: low-cost rehearsal space. From dusk till dawn, artists rehearse behind close doors creating around 300 new productions and re-stagings every year. Three quarters of these productions are developed for Berlin venues, the remainder are premiered outside the city or are film and TV productions. Theaterhaus Berlin Mitte assists performers with documentation, consultation and technical support enabling them to professionalize their work and benefit from networking opportunities.
Theaterhaus Berlin is a place of intercultural encounters and an important focal point for visiting artists from around the world.
