”She is the daughter of two creatures that fought against silence. Against the silence that keeps the feelings inside like intestines. Against the silence that mutes the dead. But the womb is still fertile from which that silence crawled…“
The performance “Third Skin” by German-Spanish choreographer Ana Lessing Menjibar is a poetic reaction to the opening up of her family history. It deals with experiences of war, fascism and political resistance across three generations. Together with her team, Lessing Menjibar creates the fiction of a chimera in constant metamorphosis between resistance and porosity. In her transdisciplinary practice, the (physical) knowledge of flamenco is interwoven with contemporary dance, visual art and electronic music to create an energetic cosmos of body, sound, rhythm, language and sculptural objects.
➡️ Ana Lessing Menjibar (she/her) is a German-Spanish performer, dancer, choreographer and multidisciplinary artist from Berlin. Her interdisciplinary work combines body with sound, multimedia and sculptural elements as an extended choreographic practice and experiments with the transformative potential of flamenco in the context of performance and contemporary dance. Ana Lessing Menjibar studied Visual Communication at the UdK-Berlin and the Performance Research Master SODA at the HZT-Berlin.
