Sex mit Madonna

Chris Jäger

2023

SEX WITH MADONNA explores the physi­cality of bipolar disorder, a condition that is socially stigma­tized. Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is one of the most common mental illnesses in Germany and often places those affected in preca­rious situa­tions. How does a manic body move, and how does a depressed one? The tension between mania and depression within a single person—a tension that seems to tear body and mind apart—is at the heart of this choreo­graphic explo­ration.
