Grenz.land
Korea
A multimedia installation and dance performance by 12H Dance, Ziepert and Tzavara
Grenz.land – Korea deals with the phenomenon of borders in our society today – not only as a geographical separation between nation states, but also within one’s own country. The dance performance enables insights into the debate of belonging, exclusion and boundaries. Feelings with which “newcomers” in particular are confronted.
To this end, the artist collective 12H Dance, Ziepert & Tzavara held intensive discussions and shot videos with migrants of various generations and origins living in South Korea. Based on the moving experiences of the participants, the artists developed a multimedia dance piece and an audiovisual installation for the public space.
Grenz.land – Korea is an adaptation of the TANZPAKT Stadt-Land-Bund project Grenz.land, produced in 2020 as part of Vorpommern tanzt an – movin‘bröllin with the support of Arts Council Korea.
”Grenz.land Korea is a work that properly achieves a sense of balance between concept and performance through the fusion of dance, video, and sound, and drew thoughts and awareness of the subject with an auditory aesthetic to the audience.
