As Rykena/Jüngst stroll through imaginary landscapes of myths, legends, and apocalyptic sound effects, they re-imagine heroic tales, invent superpowers, and portray non-conformist characters in their fight against the dominant narratives of singular, stereotypical heroes.
  
INFO: The show on March 5^th will be followed by an artist talk.
  
Rykena/Jüngst address queer-feminist, intersectional and ableism-critical body discourses, as well as the transformation of normative categorisations of bodies. Employing material from the classics, mythology, and popular culture, Carolin Jüngst and Lisa Ryka like to create characters that defy the stereotypes and clichés of heteronormative attributions. Their work has been regularly presented at Kampnagel, Hamburg, and HochX, Munich, and invited to various festivals. For example, among other invitations, SHE LEGEND will be part of Tanzplattform 2022 at HAU/Hebbel am Ufer, Berlin.

She/they also practiced equestrian vaulting for ten years, studied dance/theatre studies and philosophy, attended a dance trainee programme at the Leipziger Tanztheater and completed her/their Master of Arts grade in performance studies in Hamburg.
