Sweeping Sisters at tanzhaus nrw: A quiet, powerful stage experience about visibility and solidarity
With Eisa Jocson and Venuri Perera, a performative intervention will take place in the foyer of tanzhaus nrw on September 12, 2026, which removes the broom from everyday routine and transforms it into a multifaceted stage figure. The free guest performance as part of Claiming Common Spaces VIII lasts 60 minutes, is language-free, and starts at 7:30 PM.

When Sweeping Becomes Body Politics
Building on their work Magic Maids, Jocson and Perera relocate sweeping to the public space, thereby opening a precise reading of care work, social invisibility, and female solidarity. The imagery of the witch and the migrant domestic worker shimmer as cultural friction throughout the scene, providing the evening with an unusual dramatic tension.

Foyer, Audience, Presence
The foyer of tanzhaus nrw will become a resonance space for an immediate stage experience: close, concentrated, open to the nuances of movement, gaze, and space. Those who appreciate performance art and dance theater will not experience a loud gesture here, but a choreographic statement with political precision and a strong theatrical atmosphere.

A Work with an International Touch
Eisa Jocson is described on the event page as a Filipino choreographer and dancer whose works explore body politics in the service and entertainment sectors; the page also refers to her awards, including the Tabori International Award 2023 in Germany. Venuri Perera is named as the artistic partner in the project. This gives Sweeping Sisters a clear authority in the field of contemporary performance and contemporary dance.
