My perception determines what to accept as real. Everything else is subject to that.
In the novel “The Ship of Fools” (1494) by Sebastian Brant (1457-1521), one of the most prominent works in German language and in the world culture as well, Narragonien is a fictional country the crew of the fools’ ship is setting out for. In “Narragonien” of bückling&kröger two people are also bound for new shores. The aim is clear, the hopes – big. Until something jams up. In the face of the emerging difficulties hopes fade, the two bodies remain derelict to the present moment. The fictional turns into immediate reality.
Florian Bucking and Raisa Kroger are German choreographers and dancers. In 2014, after ten years of bustling activity both in- and outside the Berlin dance scene, they founded bückling&kröger in order to transfer their extensive combined experience into collectively choreographed pieces. As a creatively working union they engage with dance in the broadest sense, as well as with architecture, performance and social plastic. So far they have developed three short pieces, one feature-length production and a concert evening. Their work is characterised by a clear focus on the body and the physical states that accompany movement. They often develop their work in collaboration with artists from other fields such as fine art or music.
