Following a two-week residency at the , we shared the first results of our research in Trier at the some weeks ago.

PIRANESI moves at the intersection of dance, theater and performance.
It draws from Susanna Clarke’s novel and the imaginary architectures of Giovanni Battista Piranesi.
Between rehearsals, conversations and decisions, a shared working space emerged with the full team present and together for the first time ❤️

A process that continues to unfold.

PIRANESI – beginning of a research

In February, we were in Residency at the in Wuppertal.
This is where our research began – between body, space and imagination.
A first attempt to move through imaginary architectures, through memory, isolation and perception.
It was also a moment of encounters – of working together, exchanging, and being in a place that holds a long personal history for me, shaped by my time with Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch.

The process has only just begun.

Im Anschluss an eine zweiwöchige Residenz im zeigen wir die Ergebnisse der künstlerischen Recherche zu für unser neues Projekt PIRANESI.

PIRANESI ist eine Stückentwicklung an der Schnittstelle von Tanz, Schauspiel und Performance. Inhaltliche Bezugspunkte sind der Roman Piranesi von Susanna Clarke sowie die imaginären Architekturen von Giovanni Battista Piranesi. Endlose Räume, Labyrinthe, Perspektivverschiebungen und Fragen nach Realität und Wahrnehmung eröffnen dabei zentrale Denk- und Bewegungsräume.

Die Residenz bildete die erste Station eines langfristig angelegten Entwicklungsprozesses. Die Recherche versteht sich als poetisch-physische Erkundung von Isolation, Erinnerung und Identität sowie von Macht- und Manipulationsstrukturen.

Das Showing ist eine offene Momentaufnahme eines laufenden Arbeits- und Probenprozesses

Residência Artística com Luiza Braz Batista – uma vivência na Dança-Teatro de Susanne Linke e Pina Bausch

Durante três dias na CASA ROSA em outubro, conduziu uma imersão profunda com 13 mulheres artistas, entrelaçando corpo, memória e presença. A residência partiu de sua experiência como artista brasileira radicada na Alemanha e de sua longa colaboração com duas grandes referências da Dança-Teatro: Pina Bausch e Susanne Linke.

Ao longo da imersão, corpo, história e biografia se teceram em encontros potentes. A Dança-Teatro apareceu não como algo a ser reproduzido, mas como uma tradição viva que se reinscreve nos corpos de hoje, especialmente nos corpos marcados por deslocamentos, culturas diversas e trajetórias singulares.

As fotos que acompanham este post são um presente da artista .lobo.104 , que registrou com sensibilidade a força desses dias.

✨ No segundo semestre do ano que vem acontecerá a segunda edição desta residência.
Fiquem de olho para as próximas novidades!

XENAKIS / PISARO

"Xenakis/Pisaro" moves between pulsating energy and meditative stillness: Iannis Xenakis’ Psappha and Rebonds are considered milestones in percussion literature—intense, rhythmic, and uncompromising. Their raw power and complex structures create a physical presence that unfolds through dance. In contrast, Michael Pisaro’s Barricades evokes a state of deep reflection through its hypnotic sounds. This music—architecturally constructed, rhythmically ecstatic—naturally invites movement. Luiza Braz Batista’s choreography responds to these impulses, intertwining them with themes of ritual, eternity, and space. She draws particular inspiration from Xenakis’ own work as an architect and his exploration of structures that transcend time.
The music is performed live by percussionist Oded Geizhals, creating a direct and immediate dialogue between sound and movement. The interplay between dance and live percussion transforms the stage into a space where rhythm, poetry, and physical expression merge into a shared experience.
Water plays a central role in this piece—as the origin of all life, as an element of transformation that both shapes and dissolves structures. It carries memories, flows relentlessly, and connects places and times. The origami boats that appear in the performance are more than fragile paper objects for Luiza Braz Batista: they are memories of her childhood, of folding small boats and watching them drift on water, of pathways home, of moments passing and returning, of routes that are found and lost. They embody both transience and the cyclical nature of movement, rhythm, and storytelling.
Within this interplay of live music, dance, and poetic imagery, a performance emerges that unites the sublime with the ephemeral, the archaic with the meditative.

Today is Ibeji Day, a day of renewal, joy, and the spirit of beginnings. 🌿✨
On this same day, September 27th, exactly 18 years ago, I arrived in Germany for the very first time. I was 17 then—full of wonder and uncertainty—and today I celebrate this milestone while in Belo Horizonte, at the start of spring, a season that carries so much meaning for me.

Eighteen years in Germany… a lifetime of learning, challenges, growth, and countless encounters with incredible people and places that have shaped who I am. 🌸💫
I am deeply grateful for every step of this journey—the struggles, the beauty, the friendships, the art, the transformations.

From a 17-year-old stepping into the unknown to the person I am today, this path continues to unfold with gratitude and love. 💛
