Performance 'White For' - Tanzquatier Vienna
The fine artist Karl Karner and the choreographer Linda Samaraweerová question the logics of participation in a familiar and felt environment. People and objects are understood here as equal actors: not only the person but also "things" construct and form the behaviour patterns. With materials and strategies of each of their artistic disciplines, the objects and spaces are grasped in their original form and function and manipulated until they are distorted and thereby reveal the inherent social orders and developments. Between bamboo sticks, plastic components, catalytic converters and in interaction with the performers, sound landscapes and structures thus develop that are simultaneously absurd, frightening, poetic and humorous.
