Probably the weirdest and simultaneously touching vision of a brave new world of GMOs playing havoc with humanity, choreographed by Editta Braun. The piece plays with alienation and familiarity of the human body, both as an instrument and an object. What new surprises can intense views of the human body reveal? How can one define movement, body contact, nakedness, when it’s nearly impossible to figure out to whom each body part belongs? When one faces, so to speak, bodily illusions?
Editta Braun Company’s work is opposing the meshes of network of systemically legitimised constraints that is gradually creeping into our everyday lives, by exposing themselves to conditions of production in the so-called third world. Their aim is to bring the experiences of artistic productions and collaborations in India, Uzbekistan, Egypt or in Senegal into the increasingly hermetic space of our societies.
Editta Braun emphasizes on the equal collaboration of artists from different disciplines in her process of creating. From 1996 onwards the creation of her pieces has been inseparably connected with the music of composer Thierry Zaboitzeff. Moreover, charismatic dancers contribute their creativity to the company’s projects since several years. Thomas Hinterberger and Peter Thalhamer join the company’s forces since 1998 with light-design.
