On Saturday 6th September, at 6pm we will be performing at the Kleine Orangerie am Schloss Charlottenburg, Spandauer Damm 22, 14059 Berlin.

We will present a new short performance called ‘The Taxonomy of Togetherness’ as part of a weekend of performances, all with free entry, curated by Steffi Weismann and Oliver Möst which we are delighted to be part of.

When we saw the space of the Kleine Orangerie we knew that the unusual space warranted a performance that responds to the long format of that room. It reminded us of the time we shrunk a 133km bike journey to a residency in Mecklenburg Vorpommern into the Probebühne in Podewil for our show Wonderworld. We also both had the instinct to dust off the Henley Megaphones last used in a Message to You for the Festival Do Oceans Dream of Rivers, curated by Amy Sharrocks in Reading. Building on texts that emerged from a residency in PACT, we started to use our database of our daily GPS recordings spanning two decades to ask about time spent together or apart.

This was all before the pandemic and we developed a performance lecture based on that research called Together/Apart which was shown at the Haus der Statistik in June 2020 as part of Stadterweitern and again at the Floating in 2021, both at the invitation of Sabine Zahn.
