Part of “A Queer Divine Dissatisfaction”
Duration 50 mins.
Light, sound and movement merge into an intense experience: “GRIND” (2011) challenges our perception – with a body in relentless motion, pulsating beats and flickering light, an overwhelming choreography of the senses is generated.
Rhythms that affect your vision. Dimensions that appear resilient. Light that makes you perceive darkness. In “GRIND” – a collaboration between choreographer and dancer Jefta van Dinther, lighting designer Minna Tiikkainen and sound designer David Kiers – the components of body, light and sound create binds that affect, confuse and move.
Inspired by synesthesia, the performance seeks to challenge our grip on reality by suspending our senses and short-circuiting perception. With pulsating, breathing, flickering lights and the unrelenting beats of dark, loopy techno, “GRIND” generates a choreography of matter. Through duration and repetition the components turn around and around, churning until they start to seem foreign. Minimising in order to maximise, “GRIND” forges simple elements into a full-on affective machine.

Travelling to HAU2 via U Hallesches Tor:
If you are coming from Hallesches Tor underground station, you will have to use an alternative footpath from Wilhelmstraße / Hallesches Ufer junction, which is separated from the carriageway by a construction fence – the actual footpath is currently closed. Please note: the alternative route is also used by cyclists. Pedestrians should keep to the right. We therefore currently recommend that visually impaired or blind visitors come to the HAU with an accompanying person.
Arrival HAU2 via U Möckernbrücke:
When you leave Möckernbrücke underground station, please stay on the footpath on the canal side until you reach Hallesches Ufer / Großbeerenstraße junction – the opposite side is currently closed due to construction work.
