 May 11 to May 12, 2023 / 9 pm DANCE 2023 Moritz Ostruschnjak Rabbit Hole Muffathalle In Wonderland: Moritz Ostruschnjak's Rabbit Hole leads us down into the dark depths of the fantastic and the digital, through tunnels, ramifications, aberrations, final fantasies, no end in sight. Seduced by algorithms, we stumble, like Lewis Carrol's Alice, into ever more bizarre worlds, following the maelstrom of links, references, clicks and pics into a marvelous and crazy alternate reality. We lose ourselves in the shallows of the Internet, the wonderland where the impossible becomes possible. The white rabbit of the 21st century consists of those bits and bytes that propose endless chains of content - everything belongs together, nothing fits together, there is no beginning and no end. It's beautiful here. And terrible. Based on his genuine interest in the complex interactions between humans and digitality, Ostruschnjak's works question who we are in this second, putting his finger in the wounds and the wonders. Have we arrived at a time when all rules can be turned upside down and simply overwritten, beguiled by bittersweet media strategies and ideological echo chambers? Yet it is precisely the very fleshy movements that seem strangely different and at the same time so familiar to us, mutating from grotesquely deconstructed scenes into dance-like whirlpools and sweeping away everything that was. A language that unfolds its own beauty from second one. Moritz Ostruschnjak Originally from the sprayer and breakdance scene, Moritz Ostruschnjak received his dance training in Munich and in Lausanne under Maurice Béjart. He has been living and working as a choreographer in Munich since 2013, and he traveled with works such as AUTOPLAY, TANZANWEISUNGEN, YESTER:NOW, and TERMINAL BEACH to numerous international festivals and hewas awarded the sponsorship prize the City of Munich in 2020. In 2022 he opened the German Dance Platform festival in Berlin with TANZANWEISUNGEN.
