quarantula!

 
 

An online series of improvisations in music (Jan Paul Werge) and dance (Larissa Potapov). In this deep dive into the emotions and atmospheres of our present time and environment, Larissa and Jan are giving fear, hope, loneliness and anger a place to be seen and accepted. While they themselves are impacted by closed theaters their work offers us support and perspective.

Free in the heart.
Confidence.

360 degrees

 

Hamburg, april 2021.

There is one perspective…
the one that is your own.
And there are many perspectives…
the ones of others. 

Countless ways…
Walk? Or stand? 
Stay? Or go? 

Always the one decision,
the one that was already made a long time ago.
Decided by me. By you.
By us?

out of the cave II

 

Hamburg, march 2021.

Surrounded by chaos
we practice balance
instinctively
following the tracks
which nourish us.

Amidst a playground 
of unlimited possibilities
our needs are mirrored
in countless mirages.

out of the cave

 

Hamburg, march 2021.

When the bright light of spring is flooding my entire being
and life itself calls out to me,
how can I hold back my heart?
Let’s get outside!
But where to? 

Instead I am embarking on an inner journey. 
Into deep longing, the unparalleled desire for ease and
lightheartedness.

reflections

 

Hamburg, february 2021.

Light hearted and rollicking.

Lost in the moment,
this feeling of summer…

And still … we are here. 

Out there, in the far distance. 
Inside of us.
Retrieved from the depth of our longing.

In front of your inner eye:
Reflections. Projections. 
Memories.

Here and now.
It lies in our hands.
In these first warm days
of this endless winter. 

Get out!
Cross these boundaries! 

Make space.

(be)longing

Hamburg, february 2021.

Where does personal contact and connection begin?
When the exceptional becomes every day life and the longing for one another and for one’s self seems endless, the line between dream and reality begins to soften.
Distance and closeness become vague.
