DANCE THEATRE WORKSHOP with GROTEST MARU
Site specific theatre workshop project with a Public performance on Pioneer Courthouse Square on Sunday November 8, 2009
GROTEST MARU wants to create together with the participants from Portland a theater, which speaks in touching and intense theatrical images of the fall of the wall and will be communicated non-verbally and internationally understandable to an audience of all generations.

The special urban architecture of Pioneer Square will be the basis for this site specific staging. Scenes and choreographies will be interwoven with contemporary, electronic music and will lead the audience into a poetic image-based world. The familiar square will appear in a different light.
