Heimat - Choreographic Debut by Roberta Pisu

In a music and dance project with four dancers and a saxophone quartet I will choreograph two public evenings (21st+22nd of Sept 2020) as my debut in the transformed Philharmonic hall of Gasteig Munich. I will explore the topic of HOME: How can one find a home far away from the culture one is used to? What remains from the old home, how does the relationship to it change?

The Arcis Saxophon Quartett plays music by Shostakovich, Schulhoff, Weill and Hiller (world premiere).

With these two evenings I want to introduce myself as a choreographer to the public of Munich by giving my full evening debut. In the transitional phase from being a dancer to being a choreographer that’s an important milestone.



The evening is for dance and classical music lovers and all people interested in arts.

To be honest:
I can improvise very well in terms of stage and costume and everything that goes with it.
But my artists and all stage workers have to be properly paid. Otherwise it doesn't make sense!
Due to the reduced audience size due to hygiene requirements and other regulations, my debut evening, which has been planned and organized for over a year, is no longer profitable simply by selling tickets.
Therefore, the evening cannot take place like this. However, I hope to find support through this crowdfunding and to achieve the impossible. As I said, there is only one parameter: The well-being of my artists, for whom every performance opportunity during this Corona period is so important. Toi Toi Toi!

The money is used to pay for logistics, costumes and accessories.
And the most important thing:
the artists and the other stage people (light, costume, mask, dramaturge, composer) receive an appropriate payment.
In corona times in particular, this is vital for all those involved.
