Jen Rosenblit
ElseWhere Rhapsody
“Elsewhere is a place that is not here, it by definition is somewhere else.” In a vague Western landscape in ‘ElseWhere Rhapsody’, Jen Rosenblit looks at the eroticism of wanting, the familiarity of unavailability and the repetition that helps us to forget. For this she brings four outstanding protagonists of the European performance scene together on stage and takes us along a poetic text in four loose chapters, through crumbling landscapes and flawed formations. Between the polyphonic ballads of a live band, the performers’ line dancing interventions and an auction with multiple meanings, in ‘ElseWhere Rhapsody’ Jen Rosenblit, Nic Lloyd, Gærald Kurdian and Li Tavor orbit issues of consent and boundaries.
