Wandlungsphasen was developed for a nature reserve in Berlin, located on a former freight yard. First performed in the “Darwin Year” 2010, it is inspired by the evolutionary processes of adaption in nature and culture.

Steel becomes moss, the performers a part of nature. Between stillness and standstill, metamorphosis and variation, disappearance and infiltration, urgency and alienation – the dancers search for a path through the niches, melt with their surroundings, stand out as strangers and disappear into the ground.
