Fremde Heimat

For *Schneeland* , Norwegian choreographer Jon Ole Olstad draws inspiration from the cold season of his Scandinavian homeland. For him, winter is not merely a natural phenomenon, but a state of mind and body. Solitude, melancholy, and silence shape his visual world just as much as the power that arises when people share the cold, their breath, and the tension together.

In Kogel , American artist Heidi Vierthaler invites us on a journey through shifting emotional landscapes—a choreographic return to her Styrian roots and to her mother’s homeland. The result is a sensitive, curious, and powerful encounter with the “yesterday”—and with what it touches upon in the “today.”
