Rhythm as a social and political instrument underpins the live premiere of the piece “safe&sound” at Radialsystem. Berlin-based choreographer Lee Méir uses loops, polyrhythms, and linear and cyclical tenses to address questions of belonging, freedom, and collective decision-making. Inside Radialsystem, six performers move to a rhythm that repeatedly starts and stops. In the percussive play of dance, gestures, voice and objects, they resist and follow the pull of harmony, the desire for synchronicity and the temptation to “surrender to the groove”.
With “safe&sound” Méir continues her artistic research on the creation and transformation of meaning. While she experimented with language in her earlier works, “safe&sound” focuses on the immediate impact of rhythms.

Biographien
Lee Méir is a Jerusalem born, Berlin based freelance choreographer, performer and costume designer. Her works vary from solos to collective formats, always based on her understanding of art primarily as a meeting point between ideas, people and craft. Her works are presented internationally in platforms such as: Tanz im August Berlin, Brighton Festival, Heidelberg Tanzbiennale, Tanzquartier Vienna, a.o. She is a recipient of the Pina Bausch Fellowship 2019 in cooperation with L’Ecole des Sables in Senegal. In 2021 she premiered safe&sound, at HAU (Hebbel am Ufer) Berlin and since then she has been investing in developing her own movement language- ‘shifting mediums’ through working with a core group of dancers as well as through teaching workshops. Lee completed choreography studies at HZT- Inter University Centre for Dance Berlin in 2013.
