SOLIDARITY!

A dance piece for audiences aged 8 and up

Together! Three people on stage: dancers Rebecca Weingartner and Raul Martinez and musician Nello Novela. Their biographiesare as different as their migration stories – and they have all experienced the feeling of not belonging.

In EQUALITY!, her previous dance piece for a young audience, choreographer Rebecca Weingartner attempted to overcome restrictive ideas and inequalities between the sexes. SOLIDARITY!, however, is about diversity. How can we come together despite our differences? How can we create spaces in which boundaries no longer play a role? How can we form a community that sees diversity not as a threat, but as an enrichment? In SOLIDARITY!, the three artists show what this could look like – and how much fun it can be. They encourage each other to break out of their comfort zones: the musician has a go at dancing, the dancers make music and sing. But to do so, they not only need courage, but also support – from each other and from the audience. The result is a wonderful temporary community on stage, a enthusiastic celebration of solidarity in which all can feelwelcome – no matter how different they are.

Rebecca Weingartner

Rebecca Weingartner is a Hong Kong-Swiss choreographer from Basel. In 2021, she was awarded the Culture Prize for Dance of the Canton of Baselland. Following the success of EQUALITY!, a dance piece about gender equality developed in collaboration with Benjamin Lindh Medin, Rebecca Weingartner is continuing her work for a young audience with SOLIDARITY! The company plans to continue its exploration of the iconic slogan of the French Revolution "Liberty, Equality, Solidarity" by reinterpreting it for a young audience and addressing current issues. In spring 2025, the company will present GUGUS! as the conclusion of the trilogy at the ROXY theatre, an unconventional interpretation of the concept of freedom.
