PLAN MEE // Eva Borrmann
"Eat the floor - A Contemporary Ceremony"
Premiered in February 2019 in Tafelhalle Nürnberg, Germany
​
Eat the floor - a contemporary ceremony presents the ceremonial act of the ceremony in its most beautiful splendor.
Four selected dancers open the circle of social negotiations. The Master of Ceremonies as the highest authority decides on progress or failure. The purpose of this ceremony - the dissolution of gravity, free fall. It's not flying up here, it's falling down. The soil must be eaten to be led into the bottomless.
The ceremony, like the theatre, plays a life drama to draw conclusions about one's own reality. Play and seriousness, fiction and reality are so close to each other that one can hardly distinguish them.
Anybody mind? "Then may he speak now or forever hold his peace!"

Performed by Eva Borrmann, Claudia Greco, Meike Hess, Evelyn Hornberg, Justyna Kalbarczyk
"Das Erbe - Politics on the ground"
Premiered in September 2019, in Tafelhalle Nürnberg, Germany
​
In the performance series politics on the ground PLAN MEE seeks engagement with architecture, body, and memory. PLAN MEE leaves the black box - and is dedicated to the historically grown space.
The first part DAS ERBE (the heritage) investigates the connection between places and remembrance performatively. The production is to be understood as a method.
With an ensemble of 5 dancers and 8 children, we approach places shaped by memory and culture. The fragile body stands in unyielding space. Architecture and body, forgetting and remembering stand opposite each other and yet are inseparably linked. We are in the present and in the past at the same time. Remembering and forgetting together forms our collective memory, cultural identity.
