Adam Linder
LOYALTY
- Dance
approx. 60 mins.
After working on international projects in theatre and exhibition settings, Adam Linder returns to his earliest experience of the performing arts: ballet. Classical ballet has long been largely unchanged with its corps-de-ballet formations, partner work, and visual language. The choreographer lovingly attempts to shake up this traditional stage form, bringing it into the 21st century with contemporary technical approaches. To the music of the British avant-garde band Coil, five world-class dancers weave virtuosity, theatricality, and abstraction into a hybrid vocabulary of movement that is at once raw and subtle, melancholy and serene. The performance also offers a critique of the power relations embedded within classical ballet. How can representations of gender and race be changed, and what movement should the dancers remain loyal to?

Travelling to HAU2 via U Hallesches Tor:
If you are coming from Hallesches Tor underground station, you will have to use an alternative footpath from Wilhelmstraße / Hallesches Ufer junction, which is separated from the carriageway by a construction fence – the actual footpath is currently closed. Please note: the alternative route is also used by cyclists. Pedestrians should keep to the right. We therefore currently recommend that visually impaired or blind visitors come to the HAU with an accompanying person.
Arrival HAU2 via U Möckernbrücke:
When you leave Möckernbrücke underground station, please stay on the footpath on the canal side until you reach Hallesches Ufer / Großbeerenstraße junction – the opposite side is currently closed due to construction work.
