Before the flood

Flow in Trance

When you look at the surface of a river, do you see the water beyond — or your own reflection staring back?

Flow in Trance invites us to drift inward as much as outward, tracing the currents of our inner oceans alongside the everyday presence of water in our lives. Drinking, carrying, crying — water is both elemental and intimate. It sustains and connects us.

The works gathered here explore the shifting, often fluid, relationship between humanity and water. From family memories to collective histories, they offer a submerged perspective — a dive between the water within our bodies and the bodies of water that carry past, present, and future in one continuous tide.

Location for one of the FLUTEN graphic novel panels, which retell and process the story of the Thuringian deluge along the Asbach Canal.

Meeting Point: Gaswerk

Gaswerk

The FLUTEN opening walk begins on October 4 at 4:00 pm at E-Werk Weimar. From there, visitors are guided through the city, moving from one exhibition venue to the next. Each stop marks the opening of a new chapter of FLUTEN. The walk transforms the exhibition openings into a collective journey, weaving together art, urban space, and the shared experience of exploring flood narratives in different forms and perspectives, before concluding in the atmospheric halls of Gaswerk.

River Exercises

Sonja Schwarz

16:00

 - 18:00

Gaswerk

Our everyday interaction with water is characterized by habit and routine, by unconscious actions and fleeting attention. A collection of instructions serves as the basis for several performative actions that focus on the seemingly normal. They reveal our relationship to water, deconstruct familiar gestures, and propose new forms of encounter. Excerpts from the event *Figuration I* (2023/24) will be shown – performances independent of location, time, and person, recorded by the participants themselves. At the same time, participants will have the opportunity to become part of a new series of performances.

Live Performance

cát nguyên

20:30

Gaswerk

cát nguyên’s live, immersive spoken word and musical performance draws on personal and ancestral narratives to explore water as a force of memory, rupture, and renewal. This interdisciplinary performance will weave together original poetry, sound, and movement to reflect on themes of displacement, inheritance, and resilience to invite the audience into a personal yet collective meditation on how ancestral histories and cultural reconnection can shape more resilient identities and futures in the face of ecological and social upheaval

On Edge: a shameful cycle in 3 acts

Jan Munske, Mahla Mosah and Mira Emmerling

20:00

Gaswerk

“On Edge: shameful cycles in 3 acts” is an installation and performance exploring the dynamics of shame through social and individual systems. This project questions the expressions of shamefulness while playing a role in navigating social constructs. The element of water as a carrier reflects on its ritualistic role as a purifier, but how can you find salvation when there aren’t any breaks from being on edge?
