Blank placard dance, replay

Tanz im August

For Anna Halprin’s 1967 “Blank Placard Dance”, 20 dancers moved through the streets of San Francisco carrying empty white placards, which the imaginations of the passers-by could fill as they wished. With her choreographed demonstration, the American dance pioneer was reacting to the Vietnam War and to the social unrest in her own country. Now, in the midst of equally tumultuous times, the French choreographer Anne Collod takes a reenactment of Halprin’s demonstration onto the streets of Berlin. What could or should they be protesting against? And what should they be protesting for?
