nicht oben, nicht unten - irgendwo dazwischen , an short dance piece about jumping

Two performers explore rhythm, gravity, and states of suspension through continuous jumping and bouncing: a play of repetition, failure, and intimacy inspired by the courtship rituals of birds, driven by the longing for "air time."

They ask whether the feeling of being in the air can truly be captured: that fleeting moment between up and down, somewhere in between.
