In 2026, the collective dance me to the end will focus on exploring their body archive(s) and consciously relating them to the history of the theatre Gessnerallee. In their research, they weave individual biographical references to the institution with the history of the theatre and its protagonists since the 1980s. During the showing in Nordflügel, thematic movement research and improvisations create a space of resonance based on physical knowledge, spatial memory and documentary traces. 

As part of the showing, the collective questions the individual and collective body archive in conversation with dance scholar Dr Julia Wehren: How can history be experienced from the present when memories are constantly being overwritten and history appears only fragmentary and incomplete? How can bodies become sensors that absorb, filter and translate history(ies) into movement?
