The Twofold Paradox

Open Spaces | Tanzfabrik Berlin / Wedding

Production Details / Press Releases

»The Twofold Paradox« plays with the boundaries between perception, memory and imagination and attempts to manipulate the audience’s perspective. In a timeless, fictional space consisting of two identically furnished rooms, suggestive fragments of movement, light and sound form clues for chains of associations. In her new performance, Mexican choreographer Ixchel Mendoza Hernández creates a series of mysterious situations that confront the viewers with their innermost desires and personal perceptions.

In a collage arranged from uncertain proposals, meaning and logic are never given.

Ixchel Mendoza Hernández is a Mexican freelance choreographer and dancer based in Berlin. She completed her Choreography and Dance studies at Artez Arnheim in 2007. Since 2011 she has been extending her practice into video making, working in collaboration with the choreographer Anna Weißenfels. From 2012 until 2015 she was engaged at the MA SoDA, HZT Berlin, where she investigated a phenomena she named “Visual Ghost”. This phenomena has become the motor for her choreographic researches. As a perfromer she has worked for Kat Válastur, company s-h-i-f-t-s, Clement Layes, Laurie Young, Aliénor Dauchez and Elpida Orfanidou.
