In the run-up to her performance ORACLE and SACRIFICE in the woods, which is going to premiere in Vienna’s Prater woods on the 8th of May, 2022, choreographer/director Claudia Bosse will present a video installation at brut nordwest. The video is part of her ORACLE and SACRIFICE series, in which the significance of sacrifice and the practice of oracles since the Antiquity are examined along with communication with the elements and other beings.

she has a heavy beef liver beef tied to her body

she shifts her places

to her back to her chest to her head her belly her shoulder

a potential body carrying insides on its outside

she expands her insides

she touches her new organ

she gropes surmises sees feels

she rubs it on trees grasses trunks

she feels the tree with her organ carried to the outside

it becomes both their organ

both their INSIDES

through their shared liver

their INSIDES become a shared one through their shared organ

one organ

 

she sheds her organ and throws it in the dragon’s mouth

Claudia Bosse – ihr beider INNERES (both their INSIDES)

The video installation by Claudia Bosse of ihr beider INNERES can be seen from May 5th to 8th, 2022 from 9:00 p.m. in the courtyard of brut nordwest.

 

Claudia Bosse lives in Vienna and Berlin and works as a director, choreographer, artist, and head of theatercombinat. Her works negotiate forms of violence, history, and concrete utopias. She describes her space-consuming choreographies, in which she interweaves myths, rituals, texts, and documents with bodies, language, objects, and choruses to create her pieces, as ‘art in a temporary community’. Inside and outside of Europe, in museums, architectures, theatres, landscapes, and urban spaces, Claudia Bosse devises site-specific works and interventions. She is currently working on commune 1-73 with 73 fragments on the Paris Commune of 1871 and on her four-year project ORGAN/ismus poetiken der relation. Her most recent works include ORACLE and SACRIFICE 1 oder die evakuierung der gegenwart at Tanzquartier Wien and FFT Düsseldorf, and the last IDEAL PARADISE in Jakarta, which also featured at Deutsche Tanzplattform in Essen. www.theatercombinat.com

Pressestimmen

"Claudia Bosse's works create transitional spaces between installation, choreography, experimental theatre, social rituals and forms of assembly, collective and individual speech acts." (skug)

"The collective theatercombinat, founded by director Claudia Bosse, is known for works that go beyond conventional stage settings. With their performances, they usually open up venues remote from the theatre in an unconventional way." (Wiener Zeitung)
