Since 20 years deufert&plischke work at the intersection of dance, society, media. Their work emerge from open processes where people build sensual and social fabrics based on memories and stories. Their work consists of choreographies, photographies, texts and videofilms.

They erase the artistic ego and have their work written collectively. Choreography thus becomes a social activity, not determined by aesthetic principles, but by existential and philosophical concepts such as war and peace, freedom and truth. (Kaaitheater Brussels, announcing deufert&plischke's Niemandszeit)

"The works of deufert&plischke focus on time, memory, myth, and how we should live together. As an artistic duo they have adhered to the radical notion that choreography can build society, not merely illustrate it. Thus, collaboration and participation are central themes in deufert&plischke's methodology, process and performance: in their multi-faceted work, be it a choreographic concert, lecture, or exhibition, theatre takes place only insofar as it can be knit together by everyone – artists and spectators – in the moment of performance.
