[ deutsch ] [ english ]

no-man: figure of Io (female part present - male part absent: Jupiter as cloud): performance at Schikaneder cinema, performing: Iris Julian, camera: Maximilian Pramatarov, high definition video (1440 x 1080), 2013

How to address the absence of the male body and the hierarchy it unfolds in the space of the theatre? Here I can work with the idea of "Absence" as it may be found in practices and theories of the theater and performance art and to re-load it with political potential (Krassimira Kruschkova, ed.: "Ob?Scene: zur Präsenz der Absenz im zeitgenössischen Tanz, Theater und Film", Vienna: Böhlau, 2005).
