In the center of the immersive and interactive dance choir YA! is the plant Yarrow. Nine performers weave fragments of melodies they have received from the yarrow. They ask: How can humans and plants together create languages and new bodies? How can we turn to the diversity of nature within our own bodies?

This process marks a new chapter in the work of Angela Vitovec, also known as Angela Schubot. For the first time, the artist is working with a larger group of performers from Theater Thikwa, introducing them to her specific methods of encountering plant beings. At the core of Angela's work is the practice of plant trituration, also known as "trituration". This practice allows entering into a shared resonance and dialogue space with a specific plant through hours of grinding. Building on this practice, Angela explores through dance the encounter of humans and plants within the human body as a shared ecology.

Especially for YA!, the artist Folke Köbberling creates a sculptural installation of sheep's wool, which flows like an ecological landscape into the light-filled studio of Theater Thikwa. David Hermans' curved wooden floor, created for Angela's piece MOSSBELLY (Hebbel am Ufer 2023), serves as its foundation for YA!

Visit information:

- Due to the scenic setting, there are very limited traditional seating options. The audience is invited to sit on the wooden floor and sheep's wool seats and move around the space. Alternative seating options will be provided for individuals who cannot sit on the floor or do not wish to come into contact with untreated sheep's wool.

- Shoes are kindly requested to be removed at the entrance.

- Untreated sheep's wool is present in the room. It has a distinct odor and contains lanolin, which may stain clothing and in rare cases lead to contact allergies. Contact with the wool is at your own risk.

- You are free to leave and re-enter the room at any time.
