People face moments of transition all the time – more or less consciously: at airports, train stations, in waiting rooms, in situations of decision-making, during a search process, while suffering a loss or while getting to know somebody. This performance experiments with such moments of transition by combining the main element of body movement with improvised electronic live sound and a sculptural set design. Zoë Schreckenberg’s goal is to notice the overlapping moments of time and the shifts in space they produce while exposing hidden, inconspicuous states of being.

By the time of imagetanz 2018, Zoë Schreckenberg was already dealing with the topic of transition and opened her working process as part of brut’s Handle with Care series. The results of said process can now be seen on stage in After Getting Up and Before Lying Down.
