Ruhr-Ort

    In 1991, Susanne Linke created her legendary piece "Ruhr-Ort"; in it she focused on the men´s work in the steel factories and mines. Physical exhaustion became dance and formed impressive images of the world of labor in the old Ruhr region.

     

    The extraordinary choreography is returning on stage. Susanne Linke is reconstructing "Ruhr-Ort" together with the dancers of the Herner Street-Art Company Pottporus/Renegade. This will be a unique meeting between street art and dance theater, between the old and the new Ruhr region, between dance history and contemporary urban art.
