Undercurrents

Über die Veranstaltung

📅 Hour: 18:00 📅 Date: 07.09.2025 💰 (Free of charge) To mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, we invite you to a special dance performance by Adi Weinberg, the Israeli choreographer and dancer whose work engages with the questions of memory, identity and historic legacy. Conceived in dialogue with the "1945. Not the End, Not the Beginning" temporary exhibition, the performance offers a metaphorical exploration of the complex relations between the past and the present. Through body movement and expression, the artist raises questions about what has remained after the War—above all what has remained in our collective memory and in the trajectories of individual lives. The premiere will take place in Muranów, a district of Warsaw particularly marked by history, built on the rubble of the former ghetto. Beneath the ground level, there still lie fragments of demolished homes and traces of the lives of Polish Jews. "You are there, like my skin. The fact that you live lets me know I am alive, so long as you are neither my counterpart nor my copy." — Luce Irigaray We meet here — in this place, at a crossing of different times: - Two women - One fabric - All of us Bits of buried, forgotten, unspoken stories begin to rise, broken memories slowly start to shape our bodies. In 'Undercurrents', two dancers give these lost parts of us a physical form, creating an expressive, abstract and poetic movement whilst the fabric of life is pulsing within and between us. This movement becomes our intimate bridge, a dance. - Concept, choreography and dance: Adi Weinberg - Dance: Liwia Bargieł-Kiełbowicz - Music: Sébastien Beliah - Costumes: Kornelia Dzikowska-Demirska - Dramaturgy: Cat Gerrard - Assistant: Johanna Simon - Coordination: Kora Gałązka - Production: Marta Sarnowska - Special thanks: Ofir Shabtai Levin, fabrik Potsdam, Weronika Litwin, Anna Moniewska, Michał Majewski Organizer: Association of the Jewish Historical Institute in Poland Partner: POLIN Museum Co-financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage from the Culture Promotion Fund as part of the "Dance" program realized by the National Institute of Music and Dance.
