Mosso Art - WIRED

WIRED

In 2012, the city of Berlin commissioned the Mosso Art agency to stage a façade show as part of the “50 Years of Gropiusstadt” festivities. The result was a show titled “WIRED”, which thrilled over 3,000 people.

Under the artistic direction of Katja Richter (Mosso Art) and Sebastian Ramirez (Wang/Ramirez), the tallest residential complex in the middle of Berlin-Gropiusstadt, the IDEAL building, became a vertical dance and projection surface – an interplay of rope performance, sound, light and live music, unique in Berlin and freely accessible to the Berlin public.

Participants in this project included a team made up of a rigging and stunt company, rope acrobats, lighting artists and musicians from the Berlin scene. This team enchanted the residents of Gropiusstadt with a dynamic and colorful show.

Katja Richter studied Choreographie at the Academy of Arts „Ernst Busch“. In 2007, she received a scholarship for the choreographic exchange to Dartington College of Art in England, followed by an assistant to Ismael Ivo. Her choreographic work included, for example, productions at Hebbel am Ufer, Gripstheater, Berliner Festspielhaus and Tacheles et al. She choreographed music videos such as Dickes-B and Dancehall Caballeros of the Berlin band Seeed and let her performers in dizzying heights of 89 meters for the 50th anniversary of Gropiusstadt conquer the skies. As a stunt woman, she worked in more than 50 films, by Tom Tykwer, the Wachowski Brothers, Paul Anderson and Wolfgang Becker among others.
