“Compassion is an unstable emotion. It needs to be translated into action, or it withers. The question is what to do with the feelings that have been aroused.”
[Susan Sontag, Regarding the pain of others.]

​The performance project ENTER THE MUUVE. delves into techniques of emotional movement as well as the question of whether being emotionally moved can be considered as a solution to deeply rooted, structural problems at all. Based on Facebook videos of animal rescues, several movement strategies and their (mis)success are explored. Three performers develop a twenty-minute "movement experiment": an attempt to use language and their own bodies to move themselves and the audience. The main focus lies on the search for techniques to generate empathy, which are tried out performatively on non-animal, politically relevant material. The material consists of video reports from the news showcasing white-centrist narratives. ENTER THE MUUVE. offers the opportunity to critically question these narratives and one's own position.
