SCHACHMATT
Tanzspiel in zwei Teilen


Das Schachspiel ist der Kampf zwischen schwarzen und weißen Schachfiguren.
Frieden zwischen den beiden Lagern ist - nach den Regeln des Spieles – unmöglich. Die Figuren sind – wenn sie auch gegen diese Regeln sind, oder wenn sie auch mit ihren persönlichen Ambitionen ein

friedliches Miteinander anstreben wollen - erbarmungslos zum Verlieren verurteilt. Weil ihnen diese Regeln von einer höheren Macht, namentlich von den zwei Spielern, aufgezwungen werden. Für diese sind die Figuren mit ihren unterschiedlichen Gefühlswelten nur Spielsteine, die man hin und her schiebt. Die sind bloß Spielzeuge in den Händen der Machthabenden.

 

The essence of chess is the fight between dark and light/ black and white. According to the laws of chess the opposition is unrelenting-irreconcilable. The chessmen – even if they riot against the law, even if they searched at their ambition for reconciliation – have to fail mercilessly. As this law is forced on them by a higher power, by the two players, who consider the figures possessing emotions, really only as „dolls” to shuffle, as instruments in the hand of might.

The BOTAFOGO Dance Ensemble

The predecessor of the ensemble was founded in 1986.
The main feature of the Botafogo Dance Ensemble is the set of Latin-American dances and the competitive form of these. This is the first ensemble in the World which provides performances based on the figures of these dances , adapted to theatrical needs, which can entertain people for an entire evening. The evenings with houses full to capacity seem to prove that this form of art is suitable to stage as well. The language of the team is comprehensible to everyone, entertaining and international.
