A piece by one of the most exciting artists in dance for a young audience.
Life is not a pony farm, but perhaps a merry-go-round? In a mixture of movement, music and visual elements, Regina Rossi and team create an intimate and touching stage experience for the audience of the day after tomorrow in “Karussell”. The dance piece invites children to experience the basic emotions of anger, fear, sadness and joy in a playful and artistic way. These four basic emotions are represented through dance and moving stage elements that change dynamically during the performance. The audience is invited to join in a festival of emotions!
The Hamburg-based Brazilian choreographer Regina Rossi has produced many of her works shown throughout Germany at Kampnagel and combines contemporary dance with styles such as samba or capoeira as well as performance art and pop culture.
For a young audience from 3 to 6 years old
Regina Rossi was born and raised in Brazil. She studied theater, choreography and performance studies in Porto Alegre, Amsterdam and Hamburg. She is currently working on her doctorate in Applied Theater Studies (Gießen) under Prof. Bojana Kunst on “Artistic Practice as the Art of Instituting”. Rossi has lived in Hamburg since 2009 and produces her own works at Kampnagel, which have been shown throughout Germany. The choreographer combines contemporary dance with movement cultures such as couple dance, samba or capoeira, as well as with performance art and quotations from pop culture and feminist art.
In many of her previous works, she has dealt with omnipresent Western body images and ideals of women, which she counters with her own, sometimes humorous, sometimes sensual, sometimes provocative movement aesthetic. Since 2018, Rossi has also focused her work on producing performances and teaching dance and performance to children and young people.
