Drama (for tanzschreiber.de)

 My first time back at the Volksbühne since the events of 2017, saw me ironically writing about the work Drama, the latest dance work from choreographer/director Constanza Macras.

The visit opened some specific tensions, not the least that it was a dance work titled "Drama" which attempted to discuss a crisis of precarity, of which Dance's incorporation into the Volksbühne programming in 2017 was very much a part.
