Costumes & Scenography

Korinna und Jörg

Performance at Sophiensäle, Berlin, 26 – 29 November 2015

Gerhard F. Ludwig

The documentary performance Korinna and Jörg by Laurie Young observes the last 25 years of the Berlin dance scene through the eyes of the couple during the time in which they have seen over 4000 dance performances. Thanks to the intimate privilege of being able to peer into their private archives of notes, interviews and memories, new life is breathed into ephemera of dance performances found in these treasure troves. The concept of the fragment serves as the basis for Claudia Hill’s costume design. Moments of Korinna and Jörg’s sometimes blurred memories are translated into textile fragments, some of which are covered with a layer of paint.
