CLINCH at Bärenzwinger, in the frame of “In Mir Draussen”, 19-20-21.04.2024
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.

is an immersive dance/light production that will take place in the BLMK and the adjacent Goethepark. In a hybrid for- mat that moves between audio walk and live performance, the audience is invited to a nocturnal experience that transforms the park through dance, light and sound.What if the daily activities that take place in the park are remembered at night? What if the unknown corners and invisi- ble creatures became the main characters and spaces of action?
