Practicing Empathy #3

Tanz im August | HAU Hebbel am Ufer (HAU1)

Production Details / Press Releases

Across the planet, there is talk of divided societies, of constantly increasing polarisation and extremism. In these developments, Yasmeen Godder sees above all a loss of empathy: the ability to think oneself into the situation of the other person. She responds to this condition with an uncommon step: “Practicing Empathy #3”, part of a trilogy, is the first solo piece that she has developed for herself in her career. In this work, Godder works alone with feelings of exclusion and isolation. She asks what makes a deeper connection to the self possible, ultimately so as to form new connections with others.
