The Tower
Mannheim, Germany
2024

In Mannheim, a dance and film “insight” into the tower of the Trinitatiskirche, which is not accessible to the public, was provided on the Tag des offenen Denkmals. We addressed a wide-ranging audience who, through our collaborative staging, became acquainted with an art form that had previously gone unnoticed: People interested in monuments who immerse themselves in the world of dance. Dance enthusiasts who learn to appreciate the value of buildings and monuments. Filmmakers who discover a new approach to space.

Presented as part of the program Blick-Wechsel at Eintanzhaus. Funded by Kulturamt der Stadt Mannheim. With the support of Landesamt für Denkmalpflege im Regierungspräsidium Stuttgart, BDA Bund Deutscher Architekten and Stiftung LBBW. Special thanks to Evangelische Kirche Mannheim, Lang Medientechnik GmbH, AV Active GmbH, Burkart Gerüstbau GmbH.
