Selected Press, "Lieb sein"

Hegenscheidt directed a chamber piece for 3 performers, a piece about the possibilities and realities of communication. (...) The first actions happen in complete darkness, We hear footsteps, chairs moving, whispering - images develop in our heads. When the lights go on we see a man and a woman sitting on chairs across from each other, talking without speaking - meaning: we see them gesticulating. They shake hands, clap their thighs, whipe their faces, open their mouths wide and throw ther upper bodies back as if controlled by heavy laughter. We see loops of body language sequences. At some point the two begin to speak with their movements and we find out that they have just met, that they repeat smalltalks about who they are and where they are from. Their moevements are contextualized and a completely different picture arises: embarrassment plays a role here, mishap, misunderstanding and happyness-hysteria. (...). Actors Niels Bormann and Chris Daftsios and dancer Angharad Davies are doing an excellent job.

Hanna Hegenscheidt´s trio is about reassurance and assertion in the relation to the other. (...) Two men and one woman are Hegnscheidt´s communication experts. The choreographer investigates how the presence of Angharad Davies affects Chris Daftsios´ and Ingo Tomi´s (Niels Bormann´s) behavior. The tall blond and the sexualised show-off act up and compete with each other in absurd speaking-acts à la Ionesco. (...) Both pieces of this double bill at the Kampnagelfabrik identify moments of more or less funny characteristics of obsessive behaviour.
