An evening that rethinks dance, light, and intimacy in Augsburg
With Pharos. from where I stand & where we meet, a contemporary dance evening will take place on May 29, 2026, at Kulturhaus abraxas, combining movement, textiles, light, and audience closeness into an intense event experience. The Augsburg collective ContempoGary, costume designer Rebecca Bender, and dancer and choreographer Elsa Johanna Cordt focus on a form of stage that not only looks at but also connects in a tangible way.
When movement becomes language
The first part of the evening revolves around encounter, isolation, and connection. Dancer communication, glances, touches, and moments of pause create a special event atmosphere where the audience does not just watch but mentally engages. The strength of this production lies in this: It opens space for questions, emotions, and nuances.
Light, fabric, and a fleeting sculpture
In the second part, light and movement move into the spotlight. The performance is conceived as a tribute to Loïe Fuller and her groundbreaking work with the serpent dance. From dance, textiles, and technology arises a sensitive, visually dense stage landscape that aesthetically condenses the evening and sharpens sensory perception. For visitors, this creates a modern theater experience with strong imagery.
A strong ensemble from Augsburg and Dresden
Research shows: ContempoGary is rooted in Augsburg's independent dance scene and works to make contemporary dance more visible. Together with Rebecca Bender and Elsa Johanna Cordt, a production emerges that brings together the regional scene, artistic experience, and professional event management. Kulturhaus abraxas provides the appropriate setting with its theatrical character and clear focus on cultural events.
The right place for a concentrated live experience
Kulturhaus abraxas at Sommestraße 30 is one of the established cultural venues in Augsburg. The hall has 141 seats and is established as a venue for theater, dance, and exhibitions. For the audience, this means: short distances, intimate distance to the stage, and an atmosphere where every movement and every detail of light has an effect.
Conclusion: An evening for all who want to not just see dance, but experience it
Pharos. from where I stand & where we meet promises an intense evening of closeness, irritation, and poetic beauty. Those who appreciate contemporary dance, performative images, and strong stage moments should mark this date and not miss the live experience at abraxas.
