Performance by Alice Ripoll as part of the ‘wielding fissures’ series
In “Adorno”—the Portuguese word for “jewelry,” “ornament,” or “decoration”—Alice Ripoll contrasts the age of algorithms with what is profoundly human.

Ornamental gestures, shifting moods, and spontaneous desires—precisely those seemingly trivial embellishments with which each of us shapes life in our own way.
The Berlin premiere of Alice Ripoll’s performance also marks the kickoff of the new series *wielding fissures – carving cracks in the surface of the now* at Radialsystem.
In search of connection amid diversity, the choreographer explores the question of how a “we” can be conceived when, among eight billion people, no two are identical. The audience is carried along by an impetuous group that moves back and forth in waves, much like the course of history itself. The scenes unfold in a dreamlike atmosphere and confront us with what we perceive as unique: our memories, our bodies, our affections—our inner tides.
