Wanderer is a contemporary dance theatre work about the search for traces of home and the longing for rituals that transcend cultural boundaries.
Here, the artists, accompanied by a live musician, set out in search of common roots, portraying the balance between tenderness and brutality in a migratory world. They question dance as a social ritual that is increasingly being forgotten.
The piece culminates as the dancers, wrapped in primitive straw costumes and wearing animal horns from ancient Alpine Bavarian rites, unite into a mythical, archaic being that seems to emerge from the legendary world of dark winter nights.
The dance creates a space where the members of a multicultural group are able to express their individual artistic characters, while discovering a common form that works beyond language barriers. The dance company creates, on a small scale, a world community far from political realities.

Hannah Ma, a German Chinese choreographer, will treat us to a contemporary dance production that is about the search of home and the longing for rituals that transcend cultural boundaries. The dance creates a space where the members of a multicultural group are able to express their individual artistic characters, while discovering a common form that works beyond language barriers. This reminds me of a lot of things that we tend to forget in search of how different we are, “the blood that runs is our veins in red”.
