In a groundbreaking collaboration between puppeteer extraordinaire Kerstin Dathe, visionary fashion designer Shady Francis Majlaton, and the masterful choreographer Maayan Gur, a spectacular outdoor performance is set to grace the prestigious Bauhaus Buhn Festival, infusing it with an unparalleled fusion of movement, fashion, and stage art.
The seeds of this extraordinary collaboration were planted a year prior to the festival, when the paths of creativity converged. Majlaton and Dathe, both fueled by a shared passion for innovation, embarked upon a journey that would traverse continents, cultures, and artistic disciplines. Their initial encounter in Jerusalem back in October 2018 laid the foundation for their artistic symbiosis, a synergy that continued to flourish as they further refined their vision during their time at the hallowed grounds of the Bauhaus Dessau in May 2019. It was during these immersive sessions that their art piece truly took shape, resonating with the rich legacy of Oscar Schlemmer and numerous Bauhaus artists who had forever reshaped the artistic landscape.
As the project reached its crescendo, the masterful choreographer Maayan Gur joined forces with Majlaton and Dathe, their collective brilliance fusing together in a harmonious symphony of movement, fashion, and stage art. Together, they meticulously crafted a mesmerizing choreography, painstakingly rehearsed and refined over countless hours, until every step, every gesture became a testament to their unwavering dedication to their craft.
And so, in September 2019, as the Bauhaus new museum flung open its doors to a world hungry for innovation and artistic expression, this extraordinary art piece was unleashed upon a captivated audience. For an entire week, the vibrant tableau adorned the festival, an awe-inspiring celebration of the boundless imagination and transformative power of the Bauhaus movement.
