Rykena/Jüngst
Carolin Jüngst & Lisa Rykena – She Legend, © Jonas Fischer
Rykena/Jüngst have been working together as an artistic duo between the cities of Hamburg and Munich since 2016. Their pieces address queer-feminist, intersectional and ableism-critical body discourses, as well as the transformation of normative categorisations of bodies. Since the onset of their collaboration, they have been comprehensively experimenting with the relationship between body and voice and their ways of commenting and querying one another. Since 2019, their artistic works have been created on a continuous basis with Kampnagel Hamburg and HochX Munich. Rykena/Jüngst’s produktion SHE LEGEND was invited to the 2022 Tanzplattform at HAU/Hebbel am Ufer in Berlin as well as to the FREESPACE Festival, West Kowloon, Hongkong. Also since 2019, the two of them have concerned themselves with participation and accessibility in dance and theatre and artistically included means of creating access such as audio description into their pieces.
