About event
[English below]
as part of our annual Festival performance! 2025 shows Corey Scott Gilbert | Val the new production “Bellied”.
With mirrors Val moves through empty ranks, captures the eyes of the audience and approaches step by step until performer and spectators share the same space. Bellied collects fragments of broken reflections to design new possibilities-and asks how we can reposition ourselves to create better reflections and what can be made up of fragmented thoughts. a hopeless social dynamic. Personal movement stories serve as a starting point for multidisciplinary playing fields in which joy is not sought, but devoured. href = "https://www.smb.museum/museen-stätungen/neue-nationalgalerie/veranstaltungen/detail/corey-gilbert-bellied-2025-09-150000-153766/"> https: // ww w.smb.museum/museen-stätungen/neue-nationalgalerie/veranstaltungen/detail/corey-gilbert-2025-2025-14-150000-153766/
