NOICE|NOISE
Ages 6 and up
Event
NOISE/NOICE by Paula Rosolen / Haptic Hide is a choreographic reflection on the omnipresence of noise - from digital overload to the political conflicts of our time. Inspired by the Futurist movement of the early 20th century, Rosolen together with three performers explores how noise shapes our bodies and reflects social and historical shifts - not only as sound, but as visual, physical and emotional interference.
Paula Rosolen studied at the HfMDK in Frankfurt and holds a Master’s degree in Choreography from JLU Gießen.
In her choreographic work, she develops a distinct movement language for each piece, giving rise to autonomous aesthetic worlds shaped by precise visual and sonic choices. Her works are connected through a practice grounded in sustained research and an ongoing interest in the body as a site of tension between the organic and the mechanical, the individual and the collective. Movement functions as a poetic space, allowing for multiple readings, informed by pop culture, mass media, and historical events that recur across time and are reframed within contemporary discourse.
Her works—including Aerobics! A Ballet in 3 Acts (2015), selected for the German Tanzplattform, FLAGS (2020), 16BIT (2022), and NOICE/NOISE (2025)—have been presented at numerous international festivals, theatres, museums, galleries, and public spaces, including Festival Paris l’été, Espace 1789, Théâtre de la Ville Paris, deSingel, Theaterfestival Basel, Festival Tokyo, Mousonturm, Staatstheater Darmstadt, Tanzhaus NRW, HELLERAU, and the Museum Angewandte Kunst. She was invited as a guest director at Opera Köln and created Orbis (2023) for Gießen Tanz at the Stadttheater Gießen.
She is the first-prize winner of the 2014 competition Danse Élargie and has received several international residencies, including Villa Kamogawa (Kyoto) and the Saison Foundation (Tokyo). She is currently a visual arts fellow of the Hessische Kulturstiftung at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris, where she is developing her Crash Test Series.
She is the artistic director of Haptic Hide, and works between Frankfurt, Munich, and Paris.
