Compilation of favourite tracks to dance with
by Christina Ciupke und Darko Dragičević
"Compilation of favourite tracks to dance with" is a performative situation. This format expands the sketch idea presented during Tanznacht in Berlin in 2023. Back then, dear friends and colleagues were asked to contribute one of their favourite tracks they like to dance to. For this further development, the artists take into account the moment of togetherness. The choreography is created and shaped from evening to evening in exchange with the audience. Visitors contribute one of their favourite tracks that they like to dance to. Every evening, Darko creates a new compilation of their favourite tracks contributed by the audience present that evening, and Christina dances to it.
This format is a tribute to the favourite tracks we love, reminding us of moments from the past and the people we have shared them with. It is also an attempt to connect and create safe spaces in these uncertain moments that we are collectively living through, to which we can escape from time to time-places where we can still feel protected and which are disappearing more and more.
