interlude inn

Interlude Inn was created for the youth dance company at Leipziger Tanztheater and performed in the following venues:

 

Schauspiel Leipzig, 2026.

Schaubühne Lindenfels, Leipzig, 2026.

​

The travellers arrive at their temporary place of stay: Interlude Inn. A place of transition between departure and arrival. A site for wanderers, where they drift in search, constantly on the move, without ever truly arriving. What is familiar already lies behind them, while what is to come remains uncertain. In this liminal space, decisions become palpable, as do the many paths not taken. Here, various people pass through, open countless doors, let go and hold on again, between paralysis and euphoria - united in the attempt to navigate this intangible, floating state.

​

The 40 dancers on stage guide the audience through a world of shadows and unreality. Dreams meet nostalgia as they embody the threshold between childhood and adulthood, a state in which they hang suspended in the air, trying to find orientation - toward others, but also toward an abstract, vast freedom.

​

Interlude Inn becomes a place where the fear of change must be overcome in order to make room for what is yet to come.
