Agnes Schneidewind, Johanna Nielson & Marina Poleukhina
eleven. each print in the mud fills with honey
Three female artists jump from a (sur)face and delve into the exciting worlds of Tarot: In eleven. each print in the mud fills with honey, Agnes Schneidewind, Johanna Nielson and Marina Poleukhina draw inspiration from one of the trump cards, reading into it with all their senses and sentiments, including the subconscious and irrational ones. They dance, they draw, and they interact with a number of different objects in permanent circulation. This piece is a dialogue of gestures, sounds and relationships, creating a rhythm that will make the audience relax and give in to a sensual experience.
Three female performers draw the Tarot card with the number XI, “Strength”. Their performance is a response to what this card says. Meanings surface, revealing as many layers as the Tarot card itself. Words and associations pop up. Voices and stories open a synaesthetic sphere in which mouths dance, lines digest and sounds watch. Sensibility is replaced by sensuality. Differences and ambivalences are placed side by side as equals. eleven. each print in the mud fills with honey is the next chapter of AH I SEE, a series of performative experiments on the interplay of drawing and dancing, speculative (bodily) landscapes and mechanisms of translation.
Agnes Schneidewind studied philosophy in Vienna and acquired further training in choreography and bodywork as well as a post-master’s degree in performance and artistic research at a.pass, Brussels.

Johanna Nielson, performer and choreographer, lives and works in Vienna.

Marina Poleukhina studied composition at the Moscow Conservatory and at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz. She has worked as a composer, improviser and performer. Her artistic attention is focused on interdisciplinary work, which typically unites creations of worlds that transcend beyond mere sound. She likes to combine movement, light and the manipulation of commonplace devices into musical instruments. This way, she creates new and uncharted acoustic situations of intense complexity.
