Frauen Danst Frauen is a reconstruction of Rosas Danst Rosas (1983) by Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker, an allegory of industrial process and of the social roles imposed on women.
Mother with daughter, sitting next to each other are copying the worker-bee movement routine. They sit down, their hair swings around their heads, they grasp onto their breasts, they stand up then sit down again, their arms reach out and retract like pistons in a copy press.
Frauen Danst Frauen is an excavation into the personal and emotional, filtered by and expressed through a purely mechanical choreography.

Space: A small quiet room.
Technical Requirements: A Video Projector, a DVD player, a pair of speakers.
