What is the first thing that comes to mind when you see 70 people on stage? HAMONIM – Hebrew for “what moves masses” – is the third part of Patricia Carolin Mai’s trilogy about “bodies in states of emergency.” Created during her eight-month choreographic residency at K3 | Tanzplan Hamburg, the piece brings together 70 local dance enthusiasts of all ages to explore how protective mechanisms manifest in the body and how community is renegotiated. It asks: What does it take to exist and persist within a group? Is the individual at risk, or do they find protection? Together, these 70 people form a powerful stage community that dissects the parameters of togetherness and critically examines the dynamics of the mass.
