lost particles
– das Darmstück
Dance & Rap by
Katze Greeven & Kattú Mitxelena Newiger
and Rapper Finna
In »lost particles – das Darmstück,« the choreographers Kattú Mitxelena Newiger & Katze Greeven along with rapper Finna invite us to a journey through our digestive system. The stage: a gut. a wasteland. Its microbiome is becoming extinct, while our living environment is losing its diversity. Species extinction both around us and inside us. You are what you eat.
A scenario is created between humor and disgust, a dripstone cave made of fear, sorrow, anger, desire, shame, and joy. Small intestine, large intestine, intestinal villi and feces roll and unroll in a dialog between movement and rap. The artists subvert choreographies, disassemble rhythms and narratives, transform the stage in place of what does not want to be seen: A post-apocalyptic inner wasteland in which bowel cleansing fails as the last resort. How to live, how to dance, how to poop in a world where everything is falling apart? As a dramaturgy of decomposition, the transformation process in the gut becomes a symbol of a world that has been thrown out of joint.
