Any given museum gives you the feeling that you now stand in a safe place. Actually, literally in a safe.
But one can also consider this valuable site as a space for extreme contradictions. Thanks to passionate and greedy collectors these items embody and acknowledge the fights they bear to finally end up before your eyes.

Let me try to lay out a few words that eventually  register the contradictory journey one goes on in a museum:
Wealth/Courage/Arrogance/Theft/Preservation/Killing/Comprehension/Taming/Curiosity/Misrepresent/Openness... you name it.

For this welcoming act around 10 performers will dance the fear and the pride of hunting and being hunted. This performance is designed as a tribute to the past and upcoming fights for a better world.
