A Curious Invasion/Zollverein
A Curious Invasion/Zollverein - Photo Gallery
A Curious Invasion/Zollverein was commissioned by the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen, Germany to create a site-specific work with PWDT and the Folkwang Tanzstudio company (directed by Rodolpho Leoni), with performances at the UNESCO World Heritage Site Zeche Zollverein during the ExtraSchicht Festival in June, 2017. (35 minutes)
Zeche Zollverein is a former coal processing plant turned cultural center in the industrial heart of Germany.
The result was a dance work that transformed the alchemy of the Mischanlage (mixing chamber) into a tuning fork for the future.
