CLINCH
at Galerie Bärenzwinger Berlin
Taking the history of the Bärenzwinger bear enclosure as a starting point, the interdisciplinary performance company WILD ACCESS explores animals in captivity and an encounter with “the wild”. In creating a fictional, immersive environment, the performers fall into a “CLINCH”; a grapple at close quarters between the human and the non-human, between claws and jaws. The audience is invited into an extended choreography that slips across territories of domestication and ferocity.
