JANINE JOP - Kinship
After almost two years of travelling and studying around Europe the students of the Master's program CoPeCo (Contemporary Performance and Composition) are finally in Hamburg and show their works in two different concerts in July.
CoPeCo is a unique international Master's program that unites composition, interpretation, improvisation and new technologies in one. The students, who are composers and performers at the same time, study every semester in another institution around Europe.

Nobody lives everywhere, everybody lives somewhere.
Nothing is connected to everything, but everything is connected to something”.
Donna Haraway
Kinship is a performance that wonders about the limits of the human body in relation to the non-human, engaging in a dialogue with forms of life and life-forming processes. While acknowledging the complex present we live in, this performance presents a gaze into malleability and resilience. It serves as an imaginative practice to ask ourselves: How do we face life in times of crisis? What are the multiple meanings of disappearance? How can we re-signify the way we perceive darkness? How do we inhabit a liminal space, a limbo of grieving? This is also a tribute to all the ‘madres buscadoras’, the relentless Mexican women activists who search for their missing loved ones.
