Ein Körper für Jetzt und Heute
The play explores atmospheres of cityscapes, seascapes, dreamscapes, and utopian desires that invade bodies and blur clear contours and unambiguous descriptions of identity. It delves into gender identity and its treatment by the Iranian regime, organ transplantation, and a society where attitudes toward technology literally and figuratively open new spaces.
For this piece, I decided to replicate a fountain from Berlin and place it on stage in Vienna. This emphasized the displacement in the play, highlighting the frayed edges of society and serving as a physical obstacle within the performance. A staircase and a balcony on stage led to a room representing a club. Images of this club were projected onto the stage using live camera feeds.
