Bolivia - confused + affected  / Beate Höhn and Micha Purucker (DE)

09.10.2025

"Confused + Affected," a multimedia performance featuring dance, acrobatics, members of the StadtNsemble, and martial artists in collaboration with choreographers Beate Höhn/co>labs (Nuremberg) and Micha Purucker (Munich). The audience follows the performers' actions through various stations. The dance/performance project explores how political imagery and economic practices influence our emotions and affects, inscribe themselves into our bodies and minds, and how, under the influence of the media, the boundaries between the public and private spheres become blurred.
