Recording: 2022-11-18 , HAU1 Hebbel am Ufer

Cia Vero Cendoya

Bogumer (or Children of Lunacharski)

NO LIMITS Festival | HAU Hebbel am Ufer (HAU1)

Production Details / Press Releases

“Bogumer” is an inclusive dance-theatre show about the search for one’s own identity, the dynamics of power and the methods of mass manipulation, without forgoing humour and poetry.

The breathtaking performance is the result of Vero Cendoya’s many years of experience in dance with disabled and non-disabled people. It takes as the starting point the real trial of God that Anatoli Lunacharski held in 1918. Russia after the triumph of the Communist Revolution is the inspiration for creating a timeless space in which the seven protagonists relate with one another and dance in a setting that sinks beneath their feet. “Bogumer” draws inspirational aesthetic references from the cinema of Yorgos Lanthimos, from films such as “Battleship Potemkin”, the political literature of Noam Chomsky, and the existentialist philosophy of Nietzsche. The result is a stunning firework that talks about the search for personal identity and struggle for leadership through the poetics of dance and theatre.
