Four bodies. Four biographies. In ‘horea’, four performers meet – their movements tell stories of influence and identity.

How do lived experiences, social codes and female identities manifest themselves in movement? In the theatre hall of the Malkasten, four performers meet in ‘horea’ and explore the question of how biography and conditioning manifest themselves in physical expression.

The performers' bodies become visible as living archives, shaped by fragments of childhood, inner upheavals, normative attributions and the subtle traces of ageing. These inscriptions give rise to a multi-layered choreographic structure: movements alternate between somatic impulse and formal control, approaching the biographical as much as they elude abstraction. Instead of a linear narrative, a dynamic web of meaning emerges, a resonance chamber for projection, legibility and transformation.

The stage space is transformed into a living landscape. Sound, silence and movement merge into a synaesthetic space of experience – sensually perceptible and emotionally intense.
