Den kreisrunden Todengwalzer tanzen is a dance/text performance that creates a
connection of the two media, while they are conveying meaning in different ways.
In the fiction of the text the protagonist finds a way to re-root himself into the toxic
ground by falling back on a ritualistic dance form. The dance on stage develops
a world of perception articulated to the text and relies on the want for language
of the body.
This performance tells a story about potential future, about the transformation of
bodies and environment dominated but uncontrolled by technoscience. One could
call it science fiction, a fable or philosophical tale.
