First part of the Trilogy of Encounter- The solo facing the many

The solo is a solitary act towards the many, but unfolds its power from the paradox of shared intimacy. Hamburg-based choreographer Jenny Beyer, who has already included audience perception in her Trilogy of Viewership, takes an even broader perspective in Début, exploring the theater as a place for negotiating expectations. In collaboration with Chris Leuenberger, Matthew Rogers and Nina Wollny, she has developed four consecutive solo performances that explore the theme of audience interaction. The question is whether the soloists are able to retain their autonomy of action when faced with their audience, shrugging off descriptions such as authentic, autobiographical, commanding, unique. One after the other, they enter the spotlight. Four moving choreographies come to life, negotiating a single individual acting in front of the many.
