Anne-Mareike Hess / utopic productions
“To me, ‘The Future is female’ means that no longer will female qualities be subordinated to male qualities. I want to live in a world that is collaborative. A world that is emotionally intelligent. A world in which we are linked and not ranked!” The Future is female by Madame Gandhi.

With “Weaver”, a dance piece for three female dancers, choreographer Anne-Mareike Hess uses the image of weaving and its inherent creative potential of connecting and net-working and transfer it into a contemporary choreographic reflection on our society today - a story in which past and future, individual and collective fate of the female body are interwoven into the dense fabric of social togetherness.
After the solos “Warrior” (2018) and “Dreamer” (2021), the trio “Weaver” is the third dance piece in a series of three, where the artist tries to fight her way through the tangle of stereotypical ideas of being a woman.
