Strudel aus Verpackungsmüll zirkulieren im Ozean. Feminine Haie leuchten. Flinke Hände falten Oversize Origami. Seile werden zu Nudeln, zu Gedärmen, zu Geisternetzen. Care-Pas de Deux’ und Slow-food Porn treffen am Wok-Lagerfeuer einer thailändischen Megacity aufeinander. In der Tanzperformance entlädt sich der visuelle Kosmos einer glutamatgeschwängerten Fast Food Welt und aus eurozentristischer Sicht schwer verdauliche Lebensrealitäten führen rituell in absurde Gewässer.
Dasniya Sommer sucht mit Michael Schumacher vom inklusiven Ensemble Meine Damen und Herren, der MMA-Performerin Fungi Fung, der queer-ecologischen Tänzerin Tara Jade Samaya und Yui Kawaguchi Zusammenhänge zwischen Verdauung, Künstlichkeit und Kulturen. Mit Reflexionen über ‘Bodies of Water’ und Hydrofeminismus entsteht eine assoziative Bilderreise für eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit Antiasiatischem Rassismus (und Exotismus).
Haus Sommer ist das Netzwerk-Label der Tänzerin und Choreographin Dasniya Sommer. In wechselnden Kollaborationen mit anderen Künstler:innen untersucht und erweitert sie die Formensprache klassischen Balletts unter dem Einfluss von Shibari, Body Art und zeitgenössischer Performance Kunst.

Performance: Material Ways
Rehearsing our way into the air. With Liz Rosenfeld for the exhibition opening
‘Fossil Experience’ at Großer Wasserspeicher/Pratergallerie.
Fleetstreet Residenz
Very lucky to start working with Michael Schumacher/Meine Damen und Herren Ensemble on Glutamat 2.
It has been a long way to make this collaboration happen. Our research is based on combining Michaels text performance and his auratic presence when he speaks with different movement approaches. We developed a way to dance and rope-tie together, and some dramatic scenes with somewhat absurd poetry. There have been scenic ideas for a Care-Pas de Deux, plenty of sculpturous moments, and a wellness noodle bath.
We continue working on the material all through the year for a show in 2023.
Many thanks to Meine Damen und Herren, especially to Christoph Grothaus and Simone Burkhardt. And to Mark and Sina Schröppel.
Supported by Fleetstreet Theatre Hamburg, the Hamburgische Kulturstiftung, Kulturbehörde Hamburg and the Rudolf Augstein Stiftung .

Opening night: IN EXCESS
“In Excess” understands itself as a mental image, a template for interpreting connection, exploring power relations and the sensory experience of our present through BDSM. Curated by Creamcake and happening as part of the seventh 3hd edition, called “Power Play”, the group exhibition features nine artists, collectives and collaborations who negotiate convention through the consensual practice of sadomasochism and play. Running at Park Center Treptow from October 2 to 31, it fearlessly embraces taboos in sexuality, sharing a fascination with authority and the desire for transgression and contradiction, as well as a longing for a loss or conscious relinquishment of control.

‘Creamcake’ is coming up

Looking much forward to start rehearsing with Gestalta for a show at Creamcake’s 3HD Festival.
Neoliberal digital society is permeated by power and violence. These structures and dynamics required to survive in capital-oriented societies can be counter-read in abstract form with sadomasochistic practices. Now in it’s seventh edition, Creamcake’s 3hd Festival approaches the transgressive phenomenon of contemporary BDSM, kink and its varieties of exercises in force and control through art, music, performance and film. This year’s “Power Play”—running from October 2 to 10, and happening at various venues across Berlin and on the internet—considers the perception of a sexuality that defines itself as ‘play’. That is specifically in relation to notions of dominance and submission as socially-negotiable within sadomasochistic cultural techniques.
