An intense dance and art experience between emptiness, memory, and surreal imagery

With Summer Snow, TANZ Bielefeld brings a multidimensional art project to the stage of the City Theater. Choreographer Ella Rothschild revises her work for the Bielefeld stage, combining dance performance, drawings, and digital spatial art into an aesthetic experience that leads body, image, and sound into a common tension space.

When movement becomes a visual language

At the center is a figure whose story intertwines with the stories of others. Rothschild does not create a linear narrative, but a multifaceted exploration of movement: between daily routine and catastrophe, loneliness and group dynamics, abundance and emptiness. It is precisely these contrasts that give the evening its emotional power.

A space full of signs, drawings, and sound

Summer Snow expands the dance performance with the sketchbook A Year Without Summer featuring drawings by Ella Rothschild and the interactive digital space On the Edge of Nowhere. Videos and soundscapes open the stage space outward, creating an atmosphere in which installation, choreography, and visual art mutually intensify.

Surreal scenes with art historical depth

The production works with surreal images and clear dramatic tension. The piece is not only dance but also a contemporary art form where physicality, stage, light, and materiality form a sensual unity. For art enthusiasts, this creates an evening reminiscent of performative art, sketch-based notation, and intermedial exhibition practices.

Curated stage with an international signature

Ella Rothschild originally developed Summer Snow for the Batsheva Dance Company. For Bielefeld, the work is redefined: choreography, illustrations, and website/sound design come from her, with composition by Gershon Waiserfirer, set design by Gadi Tzachor, and costumes by Inbal Ben Zaken. This results in a precisely curated form that brings together dance, sculpturality, and digital aesthetics.

Conclusion

Summer Snow promises an art experience of great density: poetic, unsettling, and imagery powerful. Anyone interested in contemporary dance, installation formats, and artistic boundary explorations should experience this performance live at the Bielefeld City Theater.
