STORIES OUT OF THE WALLS

Audio-installation for 100+1-year anniversary of Wigman School

Villa Wigman, former kleine szene and before that Wigman School, is a building full of stories: adrenaline, sweat, fight for the passionate desire for dance. The walls have seen a lot. Stories from the walls have been exposed, thanks to the restorer Sonja Kaeten. But those pieces of experience can only be found out through those people who have dedicated their time to dance, even until today. We interview different contemporary witnesses who tell us about their experiences, observations, activities and sensory impressions in the context of Villa Wigman.

Our questions:
What is your connection to Villa Wigman?
What meaning does this place have to you?
Were there special experiences/observations/anecdotes in connection with this place that you would like to share with us?
Explain this place at that time from your memory.
What sensory experiences, smells, sounds etc. do you connect with this place?
What influence did the Villa have on your life, learning, dance?
What connection do you have to Mary Wigman?

The results can be heard at audio stations in the small hall at Villa Wigman. Different materials, from photos through posters to stage models, will expand the collective memory.
We invite you to reminiscence or to learn something new from us.
