During this work-in-progress evening, artists show parts of their creation, an unfinished work!
After each presentation, the artists have ten minutes on stage to ask their questions - to you! With this format, we want to support artists in their creation process and offer them the opportunity for valuable exchange and feedback, as well as a stage for the presentation of their work before the premiere. |
Length: 35 minutes + 10 minutes talk

dis.cover is a solo for one performer, three skirts and many balls. An intriguing game for the curious gaze. dis.cover asks questions about the social construct of femininity: a multi-layered personality full of conflicts and paradoxes - a female body full of strange abilities, odd flaws and idiosyncratic movements. dis.cover is small, modest and quiet - it is also loud, wild and demanding. Ariane Oechsner experiments with covering and uncovering her self and her juggling balls. In a constant alternation of strength and vulnerability she shows herself, then again eludes the voyeuristic gaze. Her juggling playfully focuses the attention on the wonderfully peculiar foot, the balancing elbow, the tensioning back while manipulating a ball, creating an aesthetic beyond sexual attraction or rejection. For the past nine years, Ariane successfully toured the world in various artistic contexts (Cirque Romanès, CriticalMess by Stefan Sing, Jérôme Thomas etc.). Recently she focused on writing and realising her own projects (notably: „play nice“ with Roxana Küwen). Ariane works as a choreographer, director and performer - focused on the non-verbal, aesthetic expression of movement and object manipulation. She understands her artistic practice as inter- (sectional) disciplinary: her current research interest explores the intersection of performative art and political activism. |
