through which they have wandered is a process, an experiment negotiating personal matters in collective contexts, using the Major Arcana of the Tarot. The cards invite us to have physical experiences of encountering questions, their resonances, and stories in order to open ourselves to potential answers. What do those stories, compiled from random acts of drawing cards, tell us? In their performance, Agnes Schneidewind, Johanna Nielson, and Zoumana Meїté will dance, sound, draw, and write. They will activate the space, creating a poetic language and subtle perspectives on matters of high complexity. And maybe the way we look at things will change what we see.

Agnes Schneidewind’s work with dance, text, and visual media is based on somatic movement and dream practices. She explores drawing and writing as performance tools. Agnes studied philosophy and social sciences and underwent trainings in dance, somatic body work, and choreography. In 2017, she acquired a postmaster title at a.pass (advanced performance and scenography studies in Brussels). For many years, she has been collaborating with dancer/choreographer Johanna Nielson under the title AH I SEE, in which they explore external and internal landscapes of the body in various chapters.

Johanna Nielson is a performer, choreographer, and educator who lives and works in Vienna. Her practice involves dance, voice work, and improvisation with a focus on phenomena of the sensual and sense-able. Johanna Nielson creates fluid performance formats combining different genres. Her ongoing collaboration with Agnes Schneidewind (Rumpuls and the performance series AH I SEE) started in 2013. Johanna has been examining the interplay of (experimental) music and dance with such artists as Tobias Leibetseder, Magdalena Chowaniec, Patric Redl, Marina Poleukhina, and Stefan Voglsinger. She has performed with luxflux, Arne Mannott, Alexander Chernishkov/Error Theater, Evandro Pedroni, Oleg Soulimenko, and many more. Johanna Nielson studied contemporary dance and dance education in Linz and received a DanceWEB scholarship for the 2017 ImPulsTanz festival.

Zoumana Meїté is a performing artist and dramaturge who focuses on the immediate process of dramatic creation. He worked as an actor, director, and consulting dramaturge from 2015 to 2018. In 2016, he attended the advanced performance and scenography studies programme (a.pass) in Brussels, where he challenged common forms of representation and their reproduction by artistic techniques, fortune-telling devices and new technologies. With origins in improv, Zoumana Meïté likes to question the space needed by the performer’s subjectivity in the process of dramatic creation. In this context, his work focuses on the development of an experimental writing process. In 2021, Zoumana Meïté wrote a report about experimentation with improvisation scenes, which brought him a master title in performing arts.
