Inspired by Berlin in the 1930s, the performance explores the fragility of freedom, the relationship between individuals and power, and the ways in which the past continues to resonate in the present.<\/div>\n<div>The performance draws on Christopher Isherwood&#8217;s novel Goodbye to Berlin, which portrays the vibrant atmosphere of interwar Berlin. A city of artistic experimentation, thriving nightlife and sexual freedom, before the rise of Nazism brought this era to a brutal end.<\/div>\n<div>In Malign Junction (Goodbye, Berlin), Alex Baczy\u0144ski-Jenkins explores themes of finitude, loss, entrapment and broken promises. The choreography examines how power shapes bodies and movement, and how feelings of uncertainty and disorientation emerge at moments when history takes a decisive turn.<\/div>\n<div>Through a choreographic language shifting between stillness, tension and movement, accompanied by a hypnotic soundscape and live music by Krzysztof Bagi\u0144ski, Baczy\u0144ski-Jenkins offers a compelling reflection on our times. The performance raises an unsettling question: are we once again at a turning point in history?

Inspired by Berlin in the 1930s, the performance explores the fragility of freedom, the relationship between individuals and power, and the ways in which the past continues to resonate in the present.\nThe performance draws on Christopher Isherwood's novel Goodbye to Berlin, which portrays the vibrant atmosphere of interwar Berlin. A city of artistic experimentation, thriving nightlife and sexual freedom, before the rise of Nazism brought this era to a brutal end.\nIn Malign Junction (Goodbye, Berlin), Alex Baczy\u0144ski-Jenkins explores themes of finitude, loss, entrapment and broken promises. The choreography examines how power shapes bodies and movement, and how feelings of uncertainty and disorientation emerge at moments when history takes a decisive turn.\nThrough a choreographic language shifting between stillness, tension and movement, accompanied by a hypnotic soundscape and live music by Krzysztof Bagi\u0144ski, Baczy\u0144ski-Jenkins offers a compelling reflection on our times. The performance raises an unsettling question: are we once again at a turning point in history? It also reminds us that hard-won freedoms can never be taken for granted.\n[caption id=\"attachment_21492\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"300\"] \u00a9 Maximilian Koppernock MJGB[\/caption]\n[caption id=\"attachment_21493\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"300\"] \u00a9 Maximilian Koppernock MJGB[\/caption]\n[caption id=\"attachment_21491\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"300\"] \u00a9 Maximilian Koppernock MJGB[\/caption]\n\u00a0\nAbout the artist\n\u00a0\nBorn in 1987, Alex Baczy\u0144ski-Jenkins  is a Polish-British choreographer and artist whose work moves between dance and performance. His artistic practice explores relationships between desire, intimacy, memory and community, with particular attention to queer experiences and histories.\nHe is a co-founder of Kem, a Warsaw-based queer-feminist collective that approaches choreography and performance as spaces for collective experimentation, social engagement and critical reflection.\nHis work has been presented internationally, including at the Venice Biennale, the Palais de Tokyo in Paris and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
