About the show

Localisation movements in times of upheaval: Elisa Siegmund uses skates and ice flooring to explore emotional imbalances in a gliding game with gravitational forces. In an autobiographical solo, the artist tells on plastic, as an alternative to ice, of physical challenges, intermediate worlds and the "dream of flying".

​About I c e D a n c e T h e a t e r – F u s i o n

IDT-Fusion was founded in 2018 as a project for research and performance in which ice skating is understood exclusively as art.

​In her work, Elisa Siegmund combines impulses from contemporary dance with the special gravitational forces on the ice, which create apparent weightlessness, speed and rapid rotations, among other things.

​She conducts intensive research into the material available to me: my moving body, skates, the smooth floor and the very specific space. Plastic sheets as an ecologically more sustainable alternative to ice open up new contexts consisting of a lack of cold, their own noises, special gliding properties and flexible application possibilities. IceDanceTheatre-Fusion focuses on tapping into the barely explored artistic potential of this stage floor in dialogue with other art forms.
