GLADE 
Soundance festival DOCK11 - June 2024

In their new work “GLADE”, interdisciplinary Performance-Company WILD ACCESS brings their site-specific practice, interweaving dance, lights, sound and text, to the stage. Their starting point is a “glade”: a clearing in a forest. From this grassy space that opens between the trees, they create an immersive terrain populated by hybrid creatures. In their search for the wild outside, they call for the wildness within.

CLINCH 
Bärenzwinger, in the frame of “In Mir Draussen” - April 2024

Taking the history of the Bärenzwinger bear enclosure as a starting point, the interdisciplinary performance company WILD ACCESS explores animals in captivity and an encounter with “the wild”. In creating a fictional, immersive environment, the performers fall into a “CLINCH”; a grapple at close quarters between the human and the non-human, between claws and jaws. The audience is invited into an extended choreography that slips across territories of domestication and ferocity.
