When Eye Becomes Mouth

When Eye Becomes Mouth is a DIY type of dance theatre about the role of the dancer, her emancipatory power, the expression of her desires and the necessity of sticking together when hope is fading. The piece attempts to create a new, feminist image of the ballerina, which recharges, encourages and extends the character of the dancer. It is supposed to become a celebration of collective diversity, not only regarding mise-en-scène and choreography, but also through the cast on stage, who are all dancers, performers and artists of Vienna’s queer dance and performance scene examining new, partially utopian possibilities of collective, dance-based and choreographic existence for women, queer people or artists.

Veza Fernández is a freelance choreographer and performer living in Vienna. She studied English and Romance languages while acquiring her dance skills through professional dance trainings and workshops. Her work is at the intersection of dance and theatre, composition and text creation. Veza Fernández creates performances by herself, with Christina Lederhaas and with many other people who touch or overwhelm her. Her solo piece Calamocos won the BESToffSTYRIA Audience Award in 2014. In 2015, she received a danceWEB scholarship at the Vienna Dance Festival. She showed The Father Care Piece Piece at brut as part of last season’s Freischwimmer festival and, most recently, was responsible for the choreography in Nesterval’s Dirty Faust.
