Information
TANZ LINZ opens the season with the double bill Divine Matter. Two choreographic works from a feminine perspective that make the body tangible as a site of origin, transformation, and transmission.
In Worship, a world premiere by US choreographer Drew Jacoby, divine femininity is not treated as a religious motif, but as a physical experience. Jacoby works with archetypal female figures, approaching them through ritual, repetition, and collective presence. Music by Rosalía and Björk, together with the sound design by Crystn Hunt Akron, condenses the piece into an atmospheric experience of devotion to body, nature, and community.
Auto Cannibal by Australian choreographer Stephanie Lake examines the creative process from the perspective of artists. In combination with music by Robin Fox, the work explores the reuse of choreographic material: ideas are absorbed, deconstructed, transformed, and carried forward in the dancers’ bodies. Auto Cannibal understands reuse not as stagnation, but as a prerequisite for renewal.
Together, the two works unfold an evening of dance about creation, transformation, and the ongoing becoming of meaning.
