NEXT Festival – Ritual performances
📅 Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th November
Erste Schritte zu den Schwelle
Discover an immersive ritual performance created by choreographer Zwoisy Mears-Clarke, in which a masked group moves slowly and rhythmically to the sound of bells on their colourful costumes. What begins as a procession through the streets becomes a collective experience that subtly reduces the distance between people. Step by step, Zwoisy unmasks centuries-old colonial traditions and paves the way for an inclusive society.
