Final Fiction
During our lifetime we're bound to leave something behind, no matter if we want to or not.
We leave a trace, an impression, memories while entering or leaving a room, in every encounter or relationship.
Designing our lives, influencing the way we are perceived by others and how we are remembered
is important to us.
Maybe we leave behind a drop of milk on the kitchentable, a melody, threehundredandfortytwo postcards, the idea for a patent, a lot of money or a diary, but – how much power over our legacy do we really have...?
Who will we have been?

" In "Final Fiction", Jan Pusch explores the image that remains - magnificent premiere at Staatstheater Braunschweig (...) In the rhythm of his inexhaustible
invention of movements, Pusch times the evening with great liveliness and hardness, using the spacious stage. The company performs with stoupendous high energy, acrobatic precision, sometimes being amazingly synchrone. Breathtaking to watch... "
Braunschweiger Zeitung, Andreas Berger, 02/2011
"The sequence of scenes and aspects of his end time visions, is staged in the typical Pusch-pace: fast, dynamic, demanding. (..) Here are 15 men and women, racing across the stage, jumping, rolling, rearing up, diving and flying over and across tables and chairs, driven by the sounds and rhythms of composer Beat Halberschmidt.
Remarkable: the rich variety of movementpatterns...
Hannoverschen Allgemeinen Zeitung, Kirsten Allée, 02/2011
" With “Final Fiction” Jan Pusch has created a grand dance essay."
Klaus Witzeling, Ballettanz
»“Final Fiction” is the new work of Oldenburg's choreographer in residence, an uptempo, complex, intense, wonderfully entertaining but still profound and relevant revue about the marks of life and legacies.«
