As part of stadt.raum.experimente @kunstkommission_duesseldorf



With destination_paradise / next stop Düsseldorf, the artist Daniela Georgieva continues her choreographic work in public space. For the Lindau 2022 Biennale she developed the piece destination paradise for the installation Haltestelle by MartinPfeifle's installation Haltestelle. Three dancers explored the installation in public space by walking, running, dancing and feeling their way around. In Düsseldorf, the choreographer and performer is now usinga section of the Düsseldorf Rhine promenade under the Oberkassler Bridge to combine choreography and movement. Pfeifle's sculptural intervention,the sound by Moritz Nahold aka subletvis and the specially designed boyband-likecostumes by Judith Schroiff make destination_paradise / next stop Düsseldorf an acoustic and visual scenic experience. In circles, diagonals or triangular shapes, the different routes dissolve and form a self-contained unit of togetherness in an urban context. For the further developmentof the performance in Düsseldorf, the powerful sound of subletvis was adapted to thethe soundscape on site, which consists of the engine noises of cars, ships and trams,the engines of cars, ships and the streetcars that cross the bridge on schedule. In this sound space, the three performers Hugo Le Brigand, SnorreElvin and David Kummer circle around and through the space, walking, running, jumping - always adapting to the right moment in the now, listening, sitting or waiting. In their movements, they always refer to the urban environment, the monumental and yet fluttering and light textile installation in bright yellow and to the viewers and passers-by. The empty space in the title of the work emphasizes the empty space that choreographically and artistically consciously sought and used. destination_paradise / next stop Düsseldorf is always where the gaze is directed towards theunknown, where empty spaces are actively accepted, where there is room to linger and immersion in movement, sound and image and real time can be forgotten.
