Until the Beginnings

World premiere
May 2024
Beneath the canvas of global rhythms, “Until the Beginnings” orchestrates a vibrant dance-poem that brings together an international team of eight dancers from Senegal, Germany and France along with musicians from the field of spoken word and rap. The directors Alesandra Seutin (Artistic Director École des Sables, Senegal) and Stephanie Thiersch (Artistic Director MOUVOIR, Germany) of diverse realms, weave a choreographic tapestry challenging the essence of hospitality. Current political enfoldings of the criminalization of hospitality in many parts of the world as well as concepts of Jacques Derrida and Anne Dufourmantelle and utopian common spaces found their way into the project. Together, they embark on a journey of deconstructing the notion of “at-home” and exploring the possibilities of cultivating a shared garden in the mesh of continuity, cycles, and threads.
