in German with English translation

A child arrives somewhere. Is it a town? An island? Or a fantasy world in its head? It is a place where monsters live, and a place that feels like home and is full of consolation. The child encounters other people and experiences alienation and shelter. It learns to defend itself against other people, to allow intimacy and to let go. Five dancers accompany the child on its journey. Sometimes they are friends, sometimes adults, sometimes the urban traffic and rolling objects that constantly change the space in which the child can move.

||:One leg here and one leg there:|| shows the many different facets of the inner and outer world of a child seeking for its roots. Dance, as an onward movement leading to change, gives a palpable expression to the turbulences and the search for stability.

Since 2005 Anna Konjetzky has been creating dance pieces and installations that are primarily notable for the way they deal with space. Her work has been shown in Munich, Potsdam, Brussels, Kampala, Nairobi, Hanoi, Istanbul and Salzburg. In 2012 she was invited to the Tanzplattform Deutschland. In 2014 Anna Konjetzky was awarded the Dance Promotion Prize by the city of Munich.
The Think Big! Festival took place for the third time in Munich in October 2014. It presents international dance and performance shows for young audiences.
