KOLORIT: When Dance, Color, and Museum Become a Single Stage Set

With KOLORIT, a special stage experience emerges at the Peter August Böckstiegel Museum, blending performance installation, dance art, and visual art. In cooperation with the Bielefeld Theater, Belgian dancer and choreographer Louis Thuriot, along with the ten-member ensemble of TANZ Bielefeld, develops a site-specific work that translates the expressive paintings of August Böckstiegel into movement.

A Dialogue of Bodies, Colors, and Space

The production emphasizes closeness rather than distance: color becomes atmosphere, impulse, and counterpart. The vibrant tones from Böckstiegel's floral, landscape, and textile representations find their counterpart in the movements of the dancers. This creates a theatrical atmosphere that treats the museum hall not as a backdrop but as a living resonance space.

Dramaturgy Between Spontaneity and Precision

The open, process-oriented approach shapes the dramaturgy of this production. Spontaneity, exchange, and the active participation of the ensemble are at the center. Accompanied by a composition created specifically by Szymon Wojcik, a choreography unfolds that enters into a sensitive dialogue with the architecture of the house and the exhibited works. The result is not a classic theater evening format, but a performative encounter that sharpens perception and opens awareness.

Böckstiegel as Inspiration for a New Form of Stage Art

Peter August Böckstiegel is one of the prominent voices of Westphalian Expressionism. His imagery thrives on intensity, brightness, and a strong connection to place. This is precisely where KOLORIT derives its strength: from painting comes movement, from space comes scene, from museum comes stage. Those who engage in this form of dance performance experience art not only as observation but as a physical experience.

A visit is worthwhile for all who love contemporary dance art, art in museums, and unusual productions. KOLORIT promises a concentrated, sensual, and inspiring afternoon that resonates long afterward. Experience it live and feel the connection between dance, painting, and space immediately.
