woman with stones

Why are you looking at me now? / Why are you looking at me again? / What if I pulled my teeth? / Cut my hair underneath my chin? (Grimes feat. Janelle Monáe)

What if biomass and subjectivity were distributed differently between nature and humankind? – Or seen from a different angle: What if nature herself wore drag? Temporary humanoid figures enter the space. They invoke divas and stones and let them coincide in their bodies as versions of a shared identity. They devote themselves to the relationship between these imaginary subjectivities and provoke an interaction of emerging and disappearing, of assimilation and dissimilation. In her new piece, Ponto Performance Prize winner Caroline Creutzburg and her team track down bodies and theatrescapes between curiosities and realities of different worlds.

Caroline Creutzburg ist Theatermacherin und Performerin. Sie interessiert sich dafür, wie sich die Welt in durchlässigen Formaten neu zusammenbauen lässt. Dabei begleitet sie stets die Frage nach dem vermeintlich Banalen und dem Emanzipatorischen im Zeigen und im Zuschauen. Ihre letzten Arbeiten waren die Digital Media-Installation „wabe[]ost“ und das hybride Solo „deep net fake hole dark rabbit“ und die Ensembleperformance “Die Vielhundertjährigen” (zusammen mit René Huari).
