Meant to be together deals with socialised and gendered mechanisms of conflict in politics, which are also reflected in romantic relationships
Abstand
In Meant to be together, Linda Heller explores the way we argue with each other and the socialised, gender-specific mechanisms behind it. She draws parallels between democratic processes and negotiations in romantic relationships. The trio encourages the audience not to avoid conflicts and discussions, but to face them and endure the associated friction - and perhaps even learn to appreciate it.

What do women hold?
Abstand
The performance The Weight of Balloons explores what women endure - both literally and metaphorically. Inspired by Maria Kalman, Franziska Schutzbach, and artworks from various eras, Linda Heller of the Merge Dance Collective investigates the ambivalence between strength and exhaustion. What burdens do women choose to carry, and which are imposed upon them? In dialogue with artificial intelligence, she critically, humorously, and physically examines female perception and how it is unsettled within a patriarchal system.
