We’ve been working with the concept of sustainability, and we translated it into the personal sphere, resilience. Our question was how can we maintain mental and emotional stability in everyday life in the face of difficulties.
Re-C-Up
Work in Progress
with Rebecca Häusler
The contemporary dance project “Re-C-Up” is a call to bring the pollution of the world’s oceans by plastic, rubbish islands in the Pacific and other unpleasant effects of humans on the Earth to the collective consciousness.
The working title “Re-C-Up” is derived from the English verb “recuperate”, which means “to recover”, “to regain strength”. How do we deal with our waste and what potential does it have?
“Lysistratas Frieden”
Choreography by Stefan Hahn
Dancers: Viktoria Kohalmi and György Jellinek
Let’s Get Loud!!!!!!!! (Shhhhh)
Work in Progress
with Sandie Donzica
Our concern arises from a very concrete experience: our society is still holding onto female idols. Models of publicity incarnate once again new forms of idolized Venuses. Those have a pernicious effect on women’s self-esteem, aesthetics and sexuality: they surreptitiously work as a constringent box for all of us.

“#01BRUMA is a performative concert of plants and post-humans, that develops from acoustic and visual signals, registered live from a plant set, monitored and connected to an interactive device made by kòniclab for this action.”

Collaboration with Dasha Lavrennikov
This collaboration started without a concrete idea of an end product, just for the sake of practice, progress and spontaneous creation. Nevertheless, this perceptive work took us to perform together in Denmark as improv performers, and presenting her piece, Groundless Ground at the Certamen festival in Madrid.

5 Postures of the Himalayan Blue Bird
Premiered at the Raw and Polished Festival in Nürnberg, Germany
Co-director: Benjamin Nivison
Music: Sebastian Serpell
We cannot help but ask ourselves: are we so rooted in the logical world that we cannot release deep attachments to our own material universe? Or, is our link to the primal so strong that our aversion to evolution is forced to take centre stage.
This piece allows the primordial voice to emerge from the body to talk, to transmit and to be present.
A Trip without Traveling
Showcased as Work in Progress at The Vortex Theater in Austin, Texas
Music: Sebastian Serpell
Assistant Director/Camera: György Jellinek
Lighting: Piotr Lemieszczuk
We all have been dealing with the pandemic one way or another. This piece, made with the purpose of describing specific situations during the lockdown, is my personal interpretation of this historical moment based on a variety of sources, from the direct experience of my surroundings and myself, down to inner thoughts and emotions. The piece shows several scenes happening in our outer and inner world: being locked up into our own homes, fear of losing our loved ones, doubting things we didn’t have the opportunity and time to doubt before and the existential search that so many of us have experienced.

#14::SKYLINE_EXTENDED::
Choreographer, performer: Rosa Sánchez
Audiovisuals: Alain Baumann
Dancers: Violeta Iriberri and Viktoria Kohalmi
“A concert of dance and visual poetry in a world of hybrid languages.“
“#14::SKYLINE_EXTENDED:: is a show consisting of dance, music and live visuals where two female dancers, a female performer and a male musician interact with the spaces and stage scenery and props in a highly visual show.”
“In this piece Kònic Thtr offers a critical look at the new techniques of power, that rely on the access and manipulation of the sphere of psyche to submit people.”
