“Muted”
The contradiction between being muted and to mute oneself.
How loud is your silence? "Muted" dives into the digital and psychological layers that stifle the human voice. From the poison of the algorithm to the heavy weight of our own hesitation, we explore the friction of speaking up in a very fucked-up system. Featuring original poetry and a cast that leaves their hearts on the stage, this work is a physical interrogation of freedom of speech in the modern age. We are done being quiet.
Am I living an illusion of freedom, in a system that controls my words?
Do I fight inequalities, challenge false moralities,
question norms and harmful mentalities?
“Contaminated”
"Contaminated" was born from a personal mission to break the silence surrounding mental abuse and the lasting weight of our past experiences. Created in collaboration with an international cast from Switzerland, Sweden, Finland and Cyprus, the piece draws on a diverse tapestry of backgrounds, dance histories, and life perspectives. We explore the moments when we "shut down" in the face of abusive behavior—whether triggered by criticism of our identity, sexuality, or health. "Contaminated" honors those suffering in silence; it is a physical reminder that even when pain is invisible to the eye, the words etched into our psyche still cling to the body.
“A Seat At The Table”
A seat at the table explains what happens when our seat at a table is denied. In a great open-air dance performance in Bern's Rosengarten alongside 40 talented dancers from Switzerland funded by the City of Berne, Anna Chiedza Spörri and Rena Brandenberger address a crucial topic to the audience.
