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

 

Born in Austria, academic degree at the University of Salzburg, studies in dance and acting in New York, Paris and Greece. Teaching at University of Salzburg, Anton Bruckner Privatuniversität. More then ever, after 15 years on stage, Editta Braun is walking her own particular line. With a good dose of sympathetic stubborness and serenely unconcerned with actual fads and trendy hypes, the poetic substance of her work is quite a plausible argument against the meanwhile obviously commonly accepted disenchantment of the world.

Editta Braun’s pieces are characterized by an expressive style, strongly influenced by theatre and performance, with humor and pathos often walking side by side, and are interwoven with elements showing a commitment to social criticism. Serious craftmanship, intelligent precision and an osmotic exchange between composition and choreography are the creative breath of the dramaturgical, choreographic and dance process.
