WUW – Wind und Wand

With physical precision and emotional strength, WUW speaks to the pressure, silence, and emotional turbulence young people face. Their feelings—often unspoken—deserve attention. A moving wall both separates and connects two performers – becoming a physical expression of emotional tensions, boundaries, the gap between ideals and reality, and the desire to break through them. The unpredictable, ever-changing wind mirrors the rollercoaster of adolescence: transformation and vulnerability. Through shifting metaphors of wind and wall, the piece delves into the ambivalent space between closeness and distance, control and chaos, pressure and play.

“Unbridled energy transforms into gentle suggestions to break down barriers. Originally created for young audiences aged ten and up, this dance piece has the power to resonate with people of all ages.”

“With physical precision and emotional force, the pop-up piece WUW – Wind and Wall by the dance duo ZINADA tells of pressure and exclusion in youth, but also of self-empowerment.”
