Take me somewhere nice

Fold – Die erste Falte | Tanzfabrik Berlin / Wedding

Production Details / Press Releases

«Take me somewhere nice» is a two-year project about traveling. Christina Ciupke and Darko Dragičević are interested in the insatiable longing for travel and how this desire has led to the phenomenon of mass tourism and other manifestations of travel.

What draws us to faraway places? What do we hope to find there? Are we searching, or is it an escape, a utopian longing? Is traveling existential? Is it an expansion of consciousness?

The possibility of moving spatially is directly linked to the feeling of freedom. This feeling is embodied in tourism as a contemporary habit. Escaping from everyday life and work is at the heart of it.

During their travels, Christina and Darko collected various memorabilia that they will share with the audience in the form of performative compositions.

Since 2018, Darko Dragičević and Christina Ciupke have collaborated on the projects “Failure as Practice” and “Lie and Theft as Practice”. These collaborations have led to their first joint Project “Silent Trio” in 2020-21. At the moment they are engaged in the project «Take me somewhere nice», conceived as a two-year overall framework that addresses travel in six successive Almanacs.

Christina Ciupke is a choreographer and performer based in Berlin. She develops her projects in cross-media collaborations. Within these projects, specific spaces and situations are created where proximity and distance, intimacy, sense of time and the being together of spectator and performer are constantly being re-negotiated. She has worked intensively with the choreographers Nik Haffner, Mart Kangro, Jasna L. Vinovrški and Ayşe Orhon, the composer Boris Hauf and the dramaturg Igor Dobričić. Since 2020, she has been developing the project «Silent Trio» with visual and performance artist Darko Dragičević.
