Programm Text:

Lust, Bedüfnis, Drang means in English "Lust, Need and Urge".
"What am I in the mood for? When was the last time I had a desire? Or was it never a desire, but a need. 1,2, Lust, 3,4,5 Need is gone again, 6,7, decision, I'll do it anyway...... In public space - in a space that is both personal and performative, I explore the differences and interrelationships of lust, need, and urge."All of the ideas stem from the idea of exploring the intersection between being authentic and being performative.

Context:

"Lust, Bedürfnis, Drang" is a work within the framework of the B.A. Music and Movement Graduation Performances at UdK Berlin.

These are the three psychological states that I have drawn from my exploration. The process of separating them and understanding their integration (physically and cognitively) helps me to tease out the restlessness of a particular phase of life. It is also interesting that the three always flow into each other - with the passage of time, repetition and exaggeration of actions, and between authentic and performative behaviors. They also alternately come to the fore depending on the situation: they are difficult to separate from each other, it could only be that one emotion is dominated by a subjective decision.The two videos on stage emerged from an exploration in public space at three different locations. At the sites of Gleisdreieck, Westhafen, and Oranienburger Straße, I was instinctively drawn to certain things and integrated them into my exploration. During the 2-hour exploration, the feeling of enjoyment changed from just being attracted to objects, to physical pleasure during deeper interactions with the objects. However, as time passed, this feeling of pleasure turned into more problematic behaviors, such as stalking or hindering the movement of others, and even observing others through surveillance cameras like those used by the police.

From the video recordings, I selected seven movements that I truly felt a desire for at that time. Through movement research, I concluded that the selected movements share these similarities: they are sustainable and organically repeatable. I extracted the movement characteristics (mainly movement rhythm and intensity) from each movement and developed a repeatable and malleable sequence of movements consisting of seven movement motifs.
