TOUCH ISOLATION

Resident artists Chris Leuenberger and Marcel Schwald invite you to an insight into their work.

Even before the Corona crisis, choreographer Chris Leuenberger and director Marcel Schwald were interested in bodies that are not allowed to come into contact with others. The traditional male image, for example, has always been forbidden to be suspected of being homosexual. From an early age, boys are discouraged from exchanging tender platonic touches with other boys.

The American author Mark Greene speaks of “touch isolation” in this context.  With three US-American dancers, Schwald/Leuenberger make trained physicalities and the stories behind them the dance-documentary centre of the work “Touch Isolation”.
