Janne Gregor: I can't leave it alone
Who owns the stage? Four Krump dancers ask themselves this question and take the audience into the spotlight. In Ich kann's nicht lassen we do everything differently. Without words, everyone is invited to follow the dancers' movements or suggest their own. The four dancers dance Krump, a dance style that has only recently appeared on stage. It originated as Afro-diasporic dance culture on the streets of LA and is based on a rebellion against social inequality and discrimination. For many dancers, Krump is still a place of refuge and a substitute for family. The Krump community creates community, it's about showing up and supporting each other.
Choreographer Janne Gregor transfers this self-empowering Krump attitude to life into the theatre space and breaks down the usual hierarchies between audience and performers. A lively choreography is created live in close dialogue with the audience. Dance becomes a means of communication, each performance a unique experience that makes it possible to experience why you simply can't stop dancing.
