What makes life worth living? What do we yearn for and what goals do we pursue? Are they in harmony with each other – our dreams and actions? Or are we caught up with the banalities of everyday life, the monotonous repetition of particular actions and the desire to please others, submitting to the system and live a contented life?
NebeL (= Fog and =Life [read backwards] in German) deals with these conflicts – conformity or at least rebellion and freedom – and tries to find the glimpse of light amongst the heavy fog clouding our consciousness.

In “Fog” by Darja Reznikova the lively dancer Miriam Markl is a force of movement that no fog can withstand. She runs in before it starts, storms and turns tirelessly and still circles when it is long over.

Art of Movement
One of Miriam’s main concerns with her artistic work is to inspire people for contemporary performance art who otherwise have little contact with it. She explores the interface between everyday life and art and has gained experience in street performances in Germany, Italy and Switzerland, presenting her own pieces at public parties in Berlin and Mannheim. With the LOBA Project she creates interdisciplinary dance pieces that illuminate social issues from a feminist perspective. She has danced for, at and with: Lillian Stillwell at Theater und Orchester Heidelberg, Theater Carnivore, Staatsoper Stuttgart, Christina Liakopoyloy – Nostostanztheater, Darja Reznikova (Soundbody Productions), Theater Pfütze e.V., Amelia Eisen, Elisabeth Kaul and Catherine Guerin.
