In her dance piece protect., dancer Inge Gappmaier creates a hypnotic atmosphere full of suspense by staging a duet with herself. Accompanied by an intensely uncanny soundscape, she ponders questions regarding the isolated, narcissist self and its reflection in social media.

Willhaben is basically an Austrian equivalent of Craigslist. Imagine you meet someone you want to buy a blanket from that you found on Willhaben, and then imagine this highly intimate object becoming fraught with political significance. In her performance Soft Skills, Claudia Lomoschitz takes the purchase of a used blanket as a basis for a quite physical analysis somewhere between intimacy and ideology. From exchanging products to exchanging views. From soft bedding to soft skills.
