The stranger nearby
THE STRANGER NEARBY
Dance theatre with young Syrians and Germans from Dessau and the surrounding area.
"The choreographic bridge that Eder has built for the encounter between refugees and locals is as artful as Jürgen Grötzinger's music and Michael Uhl's direction...
The Stranger Nearby is not an act of popular education and was not created as such. Josef Eder works as an artist, no matter who he has in front of him.... Eder works with the vibration he feels. He has challenged the young troupe to the limit. In return, they now dance as if they had never done anything else. Maybe because the mentor has a lot in common with them. He has shed his skin, transformed, found his purpose..." Dorien Weickmann / Dance
