fleischlin/meser

fleischlin/meser create artistic-social events, that combine research on political/social topics with fragments from the pop business. These performances provoke points of contact between entertainment and intimate confession, between stage and auditorium, between criticism and utopia.

​

They developed together COME ON BABY (2011) and DROP DEAD, GORGEOUS! (2013). I JUST WANNA FUCKING DANCE or BEGEISTERUNG UND PROTEST asks what movements occur, when people disagree with systems, but do not want to throw stones. (2016 Südpol Luzern & tour). RADICAL HOPE no1 / PILATUSBLICK, a dance project with young Lucerneers, born in different parts of the world, sees itself as a radically hopeful concept of togetherness. (Südpol Luzern 2017). In collaboration with 3 school classes, they develop WHO WE ARE a neighborhood walk that creates a connection from the nursery to the world. (Performances during the Tanzfest 2019). THIS IS ME* takes up the social debates about "gender", and predicts that the heterosexual norm erodes in favor of an unlimited variety of lifestyles and (gender-) identities. (Sophiensaele Berlin, Südpol Luzern, Schlachthaus Theater Bern, Theater Rampe Stuttgart, …) In March 2020 WHAT IS HUMAN - an evening about and with family*, will be performed at the Kaserne Basel.
