“Two Giraffes Dance Tango“ – a title that inspires the imagination. But neither giraffes are to be expected on stage, nor is tango actually danced. The first part of the title points towards the absurd, its addition however straight to the core of the city of dance Bremen: With “Zwei Giraffen tanzen Tango“, Helge Letonja enters into a creative dialogue with Gerhard Bohner’s ensemble piece and the history of dance.
The performance ist followed by an artist talk.
