“SYNTHETIC / Artefact” is a choreography exploring the figure of the doll in the history of European ballet and theater, as well as in African and Asian dance forms. Straddling the line between realism and artificiality, archive and speculation, “SYNTHETIC / Artefact” turns its gaze toward bodies that refuse to be perceived as objects, capturing their unique beauty.

Following its premiere at the Gessnerallee, Tiran Willemse – a dancer and choreographer from South Africa who lives in Zurich – brings an impressive ensemble to the Kaserne for the first time. The cast includes Davide-Christelle Sanvee, who has previously presented her work “Who’s Afraid” here; Élie Autin; Ophelia Young, who was previously active as a LAB Artist at the Kaserne LAB; and Elisabeth Mulenga.
