Jefta van Dinther —Unearth

As part of a retrospective by Jefta van Dinther at HAU Hebbel am Ufer

HAU Hebbel am Ufer—St. Elisabeth-Kirche
Invalidenstraße 3, 10115 Berlin

Berlin-based choreographer Jefta van Dinther breaks down our human drive to revive and the yearning to relive in a stripped-down choreography of body and voice. In this durational performance, ten dancers uncover the body’s boundless mental and physical resourcefulness. The audience is summoned into the intensity of repetition and invited to linger in the sweetness of introspection. ›Unearth‹ digs into the body as material, while exposing both social and spiritual constructs of kinship, purpose and mortality.

›Unearth‹ celebrated its premiere as part of Tanz im August 2022. The return of the work marks the start of a retrospective of Jefta van Dinther's work in November at HAU1 and HAU2, in which selected works by the choreographer and dancer since 2011 will be presented.

Unearth is a production by Jefta van Dinther. Co-production: Norrlandsoperan Umeå. Funded by: the Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion. In 2022 Jefta van Dinther was funded by Tanzpakt Stadt-Land-Bund with the support of the German Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media, the Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion and Swedish Arts Council. The re-run is funded by the Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion. In cooperation with Kultur Büro Elisabeth.
