neworks

Asya Ashman und Therese Bendjus/Belmon are busy with the possibility and potentiality of the destruction of movement and material matter by the means of performative practices, dance and sound. In this they examine the entanglement between destruction and regeneration, questioning how they can embody both the collapse and the potential for renewal — not as opposites, but as interdependent forces. Destruction itself interests Asya and Belmon as an actualization of rage and empowerment in positions of oppression as well as a space of losing and grief. Trying to catch this moment of complete destruction, they ask themselves: What is the difference between destruction and deconstruction and its relation to violence? How much violence is there in ending things?
The motto for the “neworks” series in 2026 is CONTINUE WORKING. We want to give artists the opportunity to continue research processes they have already begun, develop them into full-length performances and present them at ada Studio.

Concept, choreography & performance: Asya Ashman, Therese Bendjus/Belmon
