Inside:
In Leila Köckenberger's solo piece INSIDE, new circus art meets the grim art of storytelling.
A mixture of aerial acrobatics, balancing acts and fakirism is humorous and breathless; a very personal piece.
The Kreuzberger Köckenberger shows a contemporary interpretation of Rapunzel across outer and inner boundaries...with not only an aesthetic but also a political touch.

arTimes:
"8 breasts - a biography "Growing up with a female body means being confronted with daily judgement of our appearance from the very beginning.
We are constantly torn between our own standards and the demands of society. "8 Breasts - A Biography" reflects the life stories of four women.
The piece uses dance and acrobatics to tell how profoundly society's focus on women's bodies influences our lives.

Duration: 80 minutes
