Habitat / Dominikanerkirche Krems

Premiere 2017, Dominikanerkirche Krems

Being naked doesn’t mean you have to feel naked. The more than naked ensemble, founded in 2013 around Doris Uhlich, operates in a realm beyond the dichotomy of „staring or being stared at“ and pays no mind to shame or actionist provocation. Instead, Uhlich creates choreographed free spaces and immerses herself in refined rituals for human flesh that doesn’t want to play hide-and-seek anymore. On two days in Krems about 30 performers will occupy the monumental Dominican Church, already secularised in 1786, and transform it into a habitat full of unimagined life forms. The horde celebrates their unity in the diversity. They do not obey the imperatives of the sex market economy and aren’t ashamed to bring wrinkles and love handles into the picture. The image is a literal and a social movement. The dancers play with the metaphor of infection: one quivers, the other tremors. Sweating and gasping. Impulses twitch, energies are invisible yet perceptible. The space becomes a social body.
