Heidi Duckler Dance Presents What Remains

What Remains is a new work created for the Wende Museum garden that focuses on the dual stories of Orpheus and Eurydice as imagined by the poet Rainer Maria Rilke, and with reference to Stasi surveillance as depicted in the short story “What Remains” published in German in 1990 by Christa Wolf. Both movement and opera emanate from the female perspective and examine the notion of memory, the idea of forgetting, and the struggle for individuality. This experimental work has been created by three composers, including an opera for seven voices by Leaha Maria Villarreal, prepared trumpet by Sarah Belle Reid, and flute and electronics by Justin Scheid.

Choreography and direction by Heidi Duckler.

This project is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
