Pink Smoke, with new work by Mohamed Yusuf Boss and 'Freiheit' van Guy Weizman and Roni Haver.
With the annually recurring programme Club Guy & Roni invites…, Club Guy & Roni creates space for artistic encounter and exchange. The dancers of the Poetic Disasters Club collaborate with guest choreographers and bring works from Club Guy & Roni’s repertoire back to life.
Where Club Invites once began as a platform for new talent, the programme has since grown into a place for longer-term development. Makers return, ideas are given room to grow, and different artistic worlds meet on stage.
For the sixth edition, Club Guy & Roni invites choreographer Mohamed Yusuf Boss, who was previously part of Club Invites (2022). Alongside his new work, the dancers also present FREIHEIT, a piece by Guy & Roni originally developed in collaboration with tanzmainz.
In this double bill, two artistic trajectories meet: a new chapter from a returning maker, and a work born out of international collaboration. Club Invites remains a place where development, exchange and curiosity take centre stage — for makers, dancers and audiences alike.
WARQAD – X_Yusuf_Boss
WARQAD is an intimate dance performance about rituals of loss, inspired by Japanese traditions. A journey through time and memory, centred on one question: how can rituals help us let go?
WARQAD, which means “paper” in Somali, explores rituals that help us navigate loss. Large, fragile sheets of washi paper are used by the dancers as symbols of vulnerable, surviving memories. How do we relate to a world that is constantly fading?
FREIHEIT – Guy Weizman & Roni Haver
FREIHEIT explores freedom and the boundaries we impose on one another. The piece was created in 2019 with Tanzmainz and reflects on a world that promises endless choice, yet so often feels constraining.
Every 3 minutes and 22 seconds, the space, light and music shift. The dancers move through ever-changing boundaries between people and ideas, as the body becomes a site of liberation and confrontation alike.
FREIHEIT poses one simple but sharp question: where does my freedom end and yours begin?
