Pandora Part I - Her of Tomorrow is an intergenerational dance and music project developed together with the community of the Volksschule Aigen, the Orchesterprojekt Salzburg, the Orff-Institut and freelance artists*. Pandora Part II - Artificial Cataclysm is a dance theater piece that portrays single individuals and connects them through a series of tragedies.
PANDORA PART I All we are tomorrow and yet do not know what is coming.

The mysticism of Pandora invites to address the tragedies that have taken place in the outer and inner world in the last decades, years, days, hours, as well as the last anchor point of hope. It raises the question of good and evil, utopia and change, restriction and freedom, and what presents itself as the greatest "evil" of our world at the moment. In a varied discourse between the generations and their mixed social role models, an attempt is made to put an end to the masquerade and to fall back on individual purist ways of narration and expression.

All of us are tomorrow and yet we do not know what is to come. Artistic direction: Anna Josefine Holzer Supervision by: Helge Musial and Anna Barbara Töller Organization (Volksschule Aigen): Veronika Danzmayr-Steinbach Composition: Àngela Tröndle Music: Orchestra project under the direction of Wolfgang Danzmayr Performers*: Volksschule Aigen and extended community, Project Research and Tanzensemble Orff Institut Video and graphics: Hector Palacios and Patrick Tafner   PANDORA PART I: WE OF TOMORROW Fri, July 2, 2021 at 6:00 pm, Max-Schlereth Saal   PANDORA PART II: ARTIFICIAL CATACLYSM In "Artificial Cataclysm" the dancers* convince with intimate solos and characters as well as group sequences chasing one artificial catastrophe after another.

Pandora's box becomes a showroom of several playgrounds and scenarios, opening up an absurd exterior and interior view through the performers* presentation. What can only be guessed at in the first part of Pandora becomes visible in Artificial Cataclysm. The box becomes a world of experience of human creations such as disruption, isolation, work and death. Choreography and concept: Stella Blanc and Hector Palacios in collaboration with Anna J. Holzer Performers: Students of the Orff Institute and the focus dance With Sonja Pfennigbauer, Paul Scheer, Lia Teresa Rottschy, Alexandra Pfeifer, Elisabeth Pieper and Katharina Lehner Guests: Ursula Hawranek, Sabine Hajdu a.o.   PANDORA PART II: ARTIFICIAL CATACLYSM July 6 & 7, 2021 at 6:30 pm, Max Schlereth Saal
