CRISIS OF SENITIVITY

with and by

Guadalupe Aldrete, Masoumeh Jalalieh, Robert Jíša, Linda Samaraweerowa, Judith Stehlik, Daniel Zimmermann, Tahereh Nourani and Johanna Zachhuber

As part of the 2026 Klima Biennale, eindorf is transformed into a resonant space for the body, memory and environment. Here, a site-specific, multidisciplinary intervention emerges, weaving together choreographic, performative, installation, photographic and cinematic practices. The artists reflect on the deep interconnections between ecological and human crises, exploring their capacity to respond sensitively to their own and others‘ vulnerabilities. The result is a landscape that invites visitors to experience transformation through their senses and bodies.

more about CRISIS OF SENITIVITY

As part of the Klima Biennale 2026, eindorf transforms into a resonant space for the body, memory and the environment. Here, a site-specific, multidisciplinary intervention emerges, weaving together choreographic, performative, installation, photographic and cinematic practices into a unified whole.  The starting point is the theme ‚Crisis of Sensitivity‘: an exploration of the deep intertwining of ecological and human crises, and of our capacity to respond to the sensitivities of others — and of ourselves.

The participating artists contribute different perspectives and media that merge into a shared artistic landscape. Through installation and performance Guadalupe Aldrete explores somatic and archaic bodily memories, opening up access to embodied knowledge. In the film adaptation of the contemporary opera DURST, composed by Robert Jíša and directed by Linda Samaraweerová, the public is invited to a musical journey through 6 states of consciousness induced by specific frequencies and based on the Tibetan Bön teachings on lucid sleep. Together with the opera singer Johanna Zachhuber, Linda Samaraweerová creates a live intervention that invites the audience to embark on a spiritual inner journey. Masoumeh Jalalieh moves choreographically between boundaries and transitions in the constant transformation of body and reality. Daniel Zimmermann’s works emerge at the intersection of visual art, film, and performance to question the meaning and sustainability of human behaviour. Tahereh Nourani uses soundscapes and voice to create auditory dimensions that allow us to experience the fragility of perception and enable new forms of listening.

This program creates a dialogue between different artistic practices that emerge as facets of a whole. Thus eindorf becomes a performative landscape, inviting visitors to experience transformations through their senses and bodies.

DE

Im Rahmen der Klima Biennale 2026 verwandelt sich eindorf in einen Resonanzraum für Körper, Erinnerung und Umwelt. Hier entsteht eine ortsspezifische, multidisziplinäre Intervention, die choreografische, performative, installative, fotografische und filmische Praktiken zu einem gemeinsamen Ganzen verweben. Ausgangspunkt ist das Thema Crisis of Sensitivity: die Auseinandersetzung mit ökologischen und menschlichen Krisen, die tief ineinandergreifen, und mit unserer Fähigkeit, auf die Empfindlichkeiten anderer – und auf die eigenen – zu reagieren.

Die beteiligten Künstler*innen bringen unterschiedliche Perspektiven und Medien ein, die zu einer gemeinsamen künstlerischen Landschaft verschmelzen. Durch installation und Performance Guadalupe Aldrete erforscht somatische und archaische Erinnerungen des Körpers und eröffnet damit einen Zugang zu verkörpertem Wissen. In der Verfilmung der zeitgenössischen Oper DURST von Robert Jíša unter der Regie von Linda Samaraweerová wird das Publikum zu einer musikalischen Reise durch sechs Bewusstseinszustände eingeladen, die durch spezifische Frequenzen hervorgerufen werden und auf den tibetischen  Bön-Lehren zum luciden Schlaf basieren. Gemeinsam mit der Opernsängerin Johanna Zachhuber entwickelt Linda Samaraweerová choreografische Interventionen, die das Publikum auf eine innere spirituelle Reise einladen. Masoumeh Jalalieh bewegt sich choreografisch in den Zwischenräumen von Grenzen und Übergängen, in der ständigen Transformation von Körper und Realität. Daniel Zimmermanns Arbeiten entstehen an der Schnittstelle von visueller Kunst, Film und Performance und hinterfragen die Bedeutung wie auch die Nachhaltigkeit menschlichen Verhaltens. Tahereh Nourani erschafft mit Klangräumen und Stimme auditive Dimensionen, die die Fragilität der Wahrnehmung erfahrbar machen und neue Formen des Zuhörens ermöglichen.

So entsteht ein Dialog zwischen den unterschiedlichen künstlerischen Praktiken, die sich als Facetten eines Ganzen herauskristallisieren. eindorf wird zu einer performativen Landschaft, die die Besucher*innen dazu einlädt, Transformationen  sinnlich und körperlich zu erleben.

“Carpet of Time – 1974 Movements”

a performance by Masoumeh Jalalieh & Daniel Zimmermann

Tuesday, 16 April 2026, 6:00 – 9:00 p.m.

Sunday, 19 April 2026, 6:00–8:00 p.m.

Carpet of Time is a dynamically unfolding performance that embodies resistance against repressive systems through abstract movements and sounds. Inspired by the geometric ornaments and the “pattern singing” of Iranian carpet weavers, the performers engage in an interplay between geometry and movement to explore how abstract compositions can make the dynamics of resonance, transformation, and the perception of time tangible. Within a 9×9-point grid, constant shifts give rise to ever-new, never-to-be-repeated constellations. In the tension between rigid structure and fluid connections unfolds the beauty of a non-hierarchical unity, where limited space enables boundless collective experience.

Inspired by the music of Cosmo Sheldrake and Rainer Kohlberger’s video work Answering the Sun.

“Ephemeral Landscapes and Narratives”

an installation performance by: Masoumeh Jalalieh & Daniel Zimmermann

Tuesday, 14 April 2026, 6:00 – 9:00 p.m.

Thursday, 16 April 2026, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.

Saturday, 25 April 2026, 6:00–7:00 p.m.

At the center of the performance stands a simple wooden slat, a natural material and a man‑made tool, mediating between City, Man, and Nature, between human intention and natural urgency. It forms an ephemeral landscape that questions scale, freedom, and the limits of the human body; how we objectify each other’s bodies; bodies moving through ecological and political collapse, carrying residues of colonial trajectories and planetary displacement. The performance is a site where material, climate, and the body co‑produce ephemeral landscapes: suspended, interconnected, and insistently transforming.

DE

Im Mittelpunkt der Performance steht eine einfache Holzlatte, ein natürliches Material und zugleich ein von Menschen geschaffener, handelsüblicher Gebrauchsgegenstand. Sie vermittelt zwischen Stadt, Mensch und Natur, zwischen menschlicher Absicht und natürlicher Dringlichkeit.

Mit ihr entstehen vergängliche Landschaften, die Maßstab, Freiheit und Grenzen des menschlichen Körpers hinterfragen, ebenso wie die Art, wie wir andere Körper objektivieren. Es sind Körper, die sich durch ökologischen und politischen Zusammenbruch bewegen und die Überreste kolonialer Bahnen sowie planetarischer Vertreibung in sich tragen.

Die Performance ist ein Ort, an dem Material, Klima und Körper gemeinsam vergängliche Landschaften erschaffen: schwebend, miteinander verbunden und in stetigem Wandel.

“Cosmic Dance”

a performative intervention by Linda Samaraweerowa and Johanna Zachhuber

Thursday, 16 April 2026, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.

Within the performative landscape of eindorf, visitors are invited to travel inward, guided by Linda Samaraweerowa and accompanied by the voice of Johanna Zachhuber. Subtle movements and sonic textures open a space of heightened attention, where perception slows and inner rhythms surface. In the context of Crisis of Sensitivity, the body becomes a resonant field — listening, sensing, and rediscovering fragile connections between self and surrounding.

DE

In der performativen Landschaft von eindorf sind die Besucher dazu eingeladen, sich auf eine Reise nach innen zu begeben. Sie werden dabei von Linda Samaraweerowa geleitet und von der Stimme von Johanna Zachhuber begleitet. Durch subtile Bewegungen und Klangtexturen wird ein Raum erhöhter Aufmerksamkeit eröffnet, in dem die Wahrnehmung verlangsamt wird und innere Rhythmen an die Oberfläche treten. Der Körper wird zu einem Resonanzfeld: Es hört zu, spürt und entdeckt die fragilen Verbindungen zwischen sich selbst und seiner Umgebung wieder.

“Cosmic Dance” 

a workshop by Linda Samaraweerowa

Saturday, 18 April 2026, 11:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.

registration is requested: info@eindorf.at 

This is an invitation to be together, to share energies and yet to be fully with oneself, engaged with what happens inside. It is an invitation to pause for a moment, to become receptive, because only an awakened yet passive mind can perceive reality as it is. Based on traditional practices connected to Indian philosophy, this workshop aims to open our awareness to rules and harmonies that are deeper than human rationality. If we succeed, we may begin to perceive a cosmic dance within us as well as around us, with clarity and an open mind.

Facilitation Language: English

DE

Dies ist eine Einladung, Energien zu teilen und sich auf das zu konzentrieren, was in einem selbst geschieht. Es ist eine Einladung, einen Moment innezuhalten und empfänglich zu werden, denn nur ein erweckter und dennoch passiver Geist kann die Realität wahrnehmen. Basierend auf traditionellen Praktiken, die mit der indischen Philosophie verbunden sind, zielt dieser Workshop darauf ab, unser Bewusstsein für Regeln und Harmonien zu öffnen, die tiefer liegen als die menschliche Rationalität. Gelingt uns das, können wir einen kosmischen Tanz in uns und um uns herum wahrnehmen.

“Echoes of the First Horizon” 

a performance by Guadalupe Aldrete & Tahereh Nourani

Sunday, 19 April 2026, 6:00–8:00 p.m.

The performative landscape becomes a terrain for an ancestral search. In this performance by Guadalupe Aldrete and Tahereh Nourani, voice, movement and acoustic interventions interact with the surrounding space. Visitors are gently drawn into a shared field of perception where sound, breath and gesture resonate through the landscape and among those present. The audience becomes part of this shifting constellation, being transported into distant temporalities when the body and the environment were inseparable. Gestures trace forgotten pathways, evoking rituals of orientation and survival. In response to the ‚Crisis of Sensitivity‘, the space reawakens an embodied memory of belonging to the landscape.

DE

Die performative Landschaft wird zu einem Terrain für Ahnenforschung. Guadalupe Aldrete und Tahereh Nourani performen und entfalten dabei Stimme, Bewegung und akustische Interventionen im Dialog mit dem umgebenden Raum. Die Besucher werden sanft in ein gemeinsames Wahrnehmungsfeld hineingezogen, in dem Klang, Atem und Gesten durch die Landschaft und zwischen den anwesenden Körpern Resonanz finden. Das Publikum wird Teil dieser sich wandelnden Konstellation und in ferne Zeiten versetzt, in denen Körper und Umwelt noch untrennbar verbunden waren. Gesten zeichnen vergessene Wege nach und erinnern an Rituale der Orientierung und des Überlebens. Als Reaktion auf die „Crisis of Sensitivity” weckt der Raum eine verkörperte Erinnerung an die Zugehörigkeit zur Landschaft.

BECOMING MANGROVE 

by Nina Sandino

Performative event
Date: December 17th at 19:00

doors open at 18:30

Becoming Mangrove is a performance-based research project that explores oral tradition, ecological interdependence, and caregiving through the figure and ecology of the mangrove. Rooted in Rama cosmology (an Indigenous people from the Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua), feminist and decolonial theories of care, and contemporary sound and performance practice, the work approaches shapeshifting not as metaphor but as a strategy of survival—one grounded in listening, adaptation, and responsibility toward more-than-human worlds.

The project emerges from an oral story carried through generations of women in my family: the tale of my great-great-grandfather, believed to transform into a tiger. This story—never written, only told—becomes both material and method. Rather than reconstructing an ancestral ritual, Becoming Mangrove proposes an embodied inquiry into how care, memory, and transformation persist despite migration, colonization, and the fragmentation of transmission.

BECOMING MANGROVE is both a personal return to lineage and an artistic attempt to imagine future-ancestral modes of living, sensing, and belonging.

Becoming Mangrove resonates deeply with the core questions of GLIMPSES: The Intergenerationality of Identity. Through oral family stories, Indigenous cosmologies, and embodied practices of care, the work reflects on how memory survives across generations even when written archives are absent or disrupted. Sandino explores transmission not as a linear inheritance, but as a fluid, ecological, and relational process — one that persists through migration, transformation, and more-than-human connections. In doing so, the performance expands GLIMPSES’ investigation of identity into a space where ancestry, ecology, and futurity intertwine.

We kindly ask audiences to bring over-ear headphones for the best possible experience.

INTER EGO 

by Bettina Eigner

Opening: November 27 at 19:00
Exhibition: November 27 – December 13, 2025
Location: eindorf, Reindorfgasse 8, 1150 Vienna
Additional visits by request: eindorf.kunstraum@gmail.com

With INTER EGO, Bettina Eigner turns her attention to spaces where vulnerability, self-expression, and community intersect — digital worlds shaped by shared emotions and online intimacy. Inspired by the online practices circulating in the 2010s around the hashtag #sadgirl, she does not merely reference this aesthetic, but investigates its deeper dynamics: How do individuals use digital platforms to process feelings, find mirrors for their experiences, and create new forms of belonging?

As part of GLIMPSES: The Intergenerationality of Identity, this exhibition expands the series’ focus to include how identities are shaped not only by cultural and ancestral influences, but also by what we share, echo, and re-create together in virtual spaces. Eigner’s work invites us to reflect on how collective resonance — even in digital form — becomes part of our emotional and social inheritance.

DE

Mit INTER EGO präsentiert Bettina Eigner eine neue Werkserie, die sich mit digitalen Resonanzräumen, Verletzlichkeit und kollektiver Emotion auseinandersetzt. Ausgangspunkt sind jene Online-Praktiken, in denen junge Frauen in den 2010er Jahren unter dem Hashtag #sadgirl persönliche Erfahrungen, Stimmungen und gesellschaftliche Spannungen sichtbar machten. Statt diese Ästhetik zu reproduzieren, untersucht Eigner die Mechanismen dahinter: Wie beeinflussen digitale Intimität, geteilte Emotionen und virtuelle Gemeinschaften unsere Identitätsbildung?

Im Rahmen von GLIMPSES: The Intergenerationality of Identity erweitert INTER EGO den Dialog des Programms um eine zeitgenössische Perspektive — eine, in der Identität nicht mehr nur durch familiäre oder kulturelle Linien geformt wird, sondern auch durch das Teilen, Spiegeln und Verhandeln von Erfahrungen in digitalen Räumen. Eigner lädt dazu ein, diese neuen Formen des Miteinanders zu betrachten: Orte, an denen persönliche Gefühle zu kollektiver Resonanz werden und neue Gemeinschaften entstehen.

Night Whispers

by Paula Flores (Austria/Mexico)

Opening: November 5th at 19:00

Exhibition duration: November 5–17, 2025
visits by appointment: eindorf.kunstraum@gmail.com

In Night Whispers, Paula Flores creates a living installation that changes through the life cycle of mushrooms. Asking the fundamental question, how can we fall in love with nature?  Night Whispers welcomes people into the installation by participating in a ritual practiced by some groups of the Maya people. The Maya believed that with this ritual, a child learns to love and respect nature. Through the installation, there are several actions that  visitors can and are encouraged to participate in to start or deepen their love and relationship with nature.

Engaging with concepts of growth, decay, and regeneration, the work reflects on ancestral knowledge and forgotten ecological respect. Through this organic material and a sonic collaboration with composer Citlali Gomez, Flores reimagines memory not as something static, but as something alive — shifting, decomposing, and transforming.

Her approach resonates deeply with the concerns of GLIMPSES: The Intergenerationality of Identity, as it draws attention to the ways in which identity and legacy are embedded not only in human relationships, but in our entanglement with the natural world. By challenging anthropocentric views, Night Whispers reminds us that ancestral memory may live just as much in fungi and soil as in family stories or cultural rituals.

Livingroom-Performance at Kunstraum eindorf
18–20 October 2025 · 19:00–22:00

Registration / Anmeldung: https://qrco.de/bgMlpo
Limited capacity · Pay as you wish

Join us for three evenings of togetherness and sharing through performances, films, installations, music, and talks in an intimate Leavingroom atmosphere.

Choreographed and performed by Masoumeh Jalalieh · Daniel Zimmermann · Yalda Pakzad · Parham Rostamabadi

In collaboration with Inge Dick (visual arts) · Sascha Alexandra Zaitseva (ceramics) · Sämi Weber (music) · Coco Lorraine Sobart (sound) · Nikola Milojcevic (sculpture)

In cooperation with Gerald Weber (sixpackfilm) Featuring films by Marzieh Emadi & Sina Saadat, Josef Dabernig, Lukas Marxt & Jakub Vrba, Herbert Distl, and Siegfried A. Fruhauf

Mit COOK, EAT & CLEAN – Praxis, Ritual und Performance setzt die halbjährlich stattfindende Veranstaltungsreihe ihre erfolgreiche Tradition fort. Vom 18. bis 20. Oktober 2025 verwandelt sich der Kunstraum eindorf im 15. Bezirk Wien in einen lebendigen Ort der Begegnung, der lokale und internationale Künstler:innen, Kunstinteressierte und Bewohner:innen zusammenbringt.

In einer Zeit, in der Trennung zur Norm geworden ist, in der Grenzen, Ideologien und Identitäten Gemeinschaften spalten und Konflikte nähren, wird das Zusammenkommen zu unserer dringendsten und grundlegendsten Verantwortung. Als Künstler:innen erkennen wir, dass das Versammeln nicht nur ein Zeichen der Einheit ist, sondern ein radikaler politischer Akt. Menschen einzuladen, gemeinsam Raum zu teilen, bedeutet, sich gegen die Kräfte zu stellen, die Isolation und Polarisierung fördern.

Unser Ritual ist das Zusammenkommen, das Teilen unserer grundlegenden Empfindungen auf kollektive Weise, das Anerkennen und Anerkannt werden, das Erweitern unserer Perspektiven nicht oberflächlich, sondern in gegenseitiger und intimer Verbindung. Nicht für uns allein, sondern für die gesamte Welt um uns herum. Wenn die Welt auseinanderzubrechen scheint, ist das bewusste Zusammenkommen, die Entscheidung für Verbindung statt Trennung, eine tiefgreifende Erklärung der Hoffnung und das Menschlichste, was wir tun können.

Im Rahmen eines zweiwöchigen Labors bringen eingeladene Künstler:innen ihre Praxen und Rituale zusammen, um drei vielschichtige Abende im Format einer Livingroom-Performances zu gestalten, in denen Performance, Musik, Film, Installation und gemeinsames Essen zu einer einzigartigen Erfahrung verschmelzen. Die unterschiedlich choreografierten Abende laden ein, verkörperte Präsenz zu erleben – serving and being served. So entstehen Momente voller Verbindung, Sinnlichkeit, Gastfreundschaft und Intimität, eine künstlerische Praxis des Erlebens, Teilens und Verkörperns.

COOK, EAT & CLEAN – Praxis, Ritual und Performance wird kuratiert und choreografiert von der iranischen Choreografin und Performerin Masoumeh Jalalieh sowie dem Schweizer Filmemacher und bildenden Künstler Daniel Zimmermann, in enger Zusammenarbeit mit der iranischen Choreografin und Performerin Yalda Pakzad. Beteiligt sind internationale und lokale Künstler:innen wie Inge Dick (bildende Kunst), Parham Rostamabadi (Performance), Coco Lorraine Sobart (Musik), Samuel Weber (Musik), und Sascha Alexandra Zaitseva (Keramik). In Kooperation mit Gerald Weber von sixpackfilm werden Filme von Marzieh Emadi & Sina Saadat, Josef Dabernig, Lukas Marxt & Jakub Vrba, Herbert Distl und Siegfried A. Fruhauf in die Livingroom-Performances integriert.




just thinking loud
by Rafael Lippuner

Opening: Wednesday, September 3rd, 2025 at 19:00

Performative Tours: Friday, September 5th, 2025 at 17:00 and 19:00
(in the frame of the Reindorfgasse Strassenfest)

Exhibition Duration: September 3 – 21, 2025
visits by appointment: eindorf.kunstraum@gmail.com

“Thinking is a silent and inner, personal process — but loud pushes it out there, almost audible as language, as materials and artifacts reverb built-in ideas and concepts. The objects in the show speak about the movements which align with their designed functionality — automated movements which have been learned and copied, which we embody and pass on since generations.”
— Rafael Lippuner

Lippuner’s work speaks to the questions at the heart of GLIMPSES: How do histories move through us, not only in what we say, but in how we move, use space, and relate to objects? His performative environment gently draws the audience into this reflection, turning routine action into an intergenerational “choreography” of presence and response.

Celebrations: The Water And The Bodies That Move Through It
by Ramiro Wong

Opening: Friday, June 27th from 6pm to 9pm

Dinner – Performance: Thursday the 26th of June at 7pm (registration required)

Please register on the following link: https://shorturl.at/5rNn9

Our history is shaped not only by the lands we inhabit, but also by the waters that surround us. Water has always been a medium of movement, connection, and separation. Just as previous iterations have explored our relationship to the earth and the stories embedded within it, this performance/installation uses the act of eating as a means of exploration. But here, we are not grounded; we are immersed. The bodies moving through the water, their fluidity, and the way we float or sink reflect our relationships with the „other“ more broadly. In water, we are vulnerable—our differences are laid bare, our survival depends on our ability to navigate the shared space.

We see the „other“ not only as someone separate from us, but as someone with whom we must find balance and harmony to stay afloat. The instability of water forces us to dig deeper, listen, and adapt.

The dinner—performance will create an environment where guests sit in a space that challenges their perceptions of comfort and control. Ultimately, it’s not about the dinner itself, but about celebrating our differences, the stories we share, and the unpredictable movements that shape us all.

Stealth is a way to breathe deeply
by Israel Martínez

Performance: 02. Juni um 19:00

A performative lecture based on children’s games, aural dusts, silence capsules, sound choreographies and notes on stealth.
Why do we often have a negative conception of silence when it can be a bridge to our quietness and a starting point for respect and dialogue with Mother Nature and our communities?

Israel Martínez (Guadalajara, Mexico. 1979) works from listening to the sound and visual arts, often with influences from literature, creating works and projects materialized in multichannel audio installations, video, photography, actions and text, trying to generate critical social reflections and to explore some aesthetic and political possibilities of silence.

A rose is a rose is a rose
by Maria Amparo Gomar Vidal
in the frame of GLIMPSES: the intergenerationality of identity

Opening: 05. Juni um 19:00

exhibition duration: 5. – 21. Juni 2025

other visiting dates on request: eindorf.kunstraum@gmail.com

In A rose is a rose is a rose, Maria Amparo Gomar Vidal creates a counter-monument to victims of Franco’s violence Spain, particularly in Paterna. Rooted in collective memory and community resistance, the installation combines photography, video, and symbolic gestures — like the planting of roses — developed in collaboration with local women. Inspired by a single rose discovered during a mass grave exhumation, the work reflects on political trauma, inherited mourning, and the healing power of remembrance.

Aligning with the core of GLIMPSES: the intergenerationality of identity, Gomar Vidal’s project explores how personal and historical memory is passed down through generations. It asks: How do communities reclaim silenced histories? What rituals emerge from the need to honor the past? The work emphasizes intergenerational dialogue, the emotional weight of inherited memory, and the resilience of those who continue to carry it forward.

The following persons are part of this project:
Maruja Badía, Maria Navarro, Teresa Llopis, Pilar Taberner, Xaro Laporta, Romy Brühwiler, Ileana Pascalau, Anaïs Senli, Daniel Galán, Nora Ancarola, Amanda Cuesta, Elena Tamarit, Elena Solanas, Amparo Belmonte, M. José Sánchez, Paula Pérez, José Ángel Sánchez, Alona Malakhaeva, Vanesa Peña, Ofèlia Sanmartín, Eva Máñez.

Reclaim.
by Louise Deininger
in the frame of GLIMPSES: the intergenerationality of identity

Opening: 15. Mai um 19:00

Finissage & artist’s talk: 28. Mai um 19:00

exhibition duration: 15. bis 28. Mai 2025

other visiting dates on request: eindorf.kunstraum@gmail.com

In Reclaim. Louise Deininger transforms the universal scar we all carry — the belly button — into a symbol of heritage, storytelling, spirituality, and identity.
Through her installation, Deininger invites us to revisit the scars we bear, not as wounds to conceal, but as pathways to healing and empowerment. Her work celebrates ancestral knowledge and the strength inherited through generations, encouraging a process of forgiveness and transformation.
The belly button, our first mark of connection, becomes a portal: a reminder of the unseen bonds that tie us to those who came before.
Visitors are invited to reflect on their own scars — including physical ,mental ,spiritual and emotional scars— and to reclaim their true nature, supported by the silent wisdom of their ancestors and the resilience rooted within.
Reclaim. is a celebration of healing, a ritual of remembrance, and a call to honor the stories etched in our bodies and spirits.
In Reclaim. Louise Deininger embodies the spirit of GLIMPSES: the intergenerationality of identity by exploring how personal and ancestral memory is carried through the body, scars, and rituals. By focusing on the bellybutton — a universal mark of origin — she invites reflection on inherited histories, the healing of emotional wounds, and the reclaiming of identity. Her work transforms scars into sources of strength, embodying the intergenerational echoes, transformations, and acts of remembering that GLIMPSES seeks to illuminate.

An exploration of memory, ancestry, and the invisible threads that shape who we are

How do inherited memories move through bodies, landscapes, and materials? What stories live in scars, rituals, silence, and everyday gestures?
GLIMPSES. The Intergenerationality of Identity brings together Louise Deininger, Maria Amparo Gomar Vidal, Guadalupe Aldrete, Rafael Lippuner, Paula Flores, Bettina Eigner and Nina Sandino, a group of artists whose works navigate the layered terrain of identity across generations. From performative landscapes and sculptural counter-monuments to sound-based rituals and immersive installations, the project explores the somatic, poetic, and political dimensions of ancestry.

At its core, GLIMPSES examines the intergenerational transmission of identity: How do we carry our histories? What stories do we choose to remember, and which ones do we transform? It opens a space for pluricultural dialogue — a shared reflection on heritage, cultural memory, and ancestral connections — and considers how these threads shape who we are.

Developed by the curatorial platform Ancestral Synonyms in collaboration with eindorf and KASAL, this year-long program unfolds in a series of solo exhibitions, performances, and conversations. Each artistic position invites us to pause, reflect, and listen – to the whispers of those who came before, and the echoes they leave behind.

Carpet of Time – 2673 Movements
von Masoumeh Jalalieh und Daniel Zimmermann
co-produced and supported by WUK performing arts, Vienna, AT Tanzhaus Zürich, CH | eindorf, Vienna, AT | ALDES|Spam! Lucca, IT | Lokal-Int, Biel, CH | Leveld Kunstnartun Air, NO

25. / 26. April 2025 | 19:30h
WUK performing arts | Währinger Strasse 59 | 1090 Wien

We are very pleased to announce the upcoming dance performance „Carpet of Time – 2673 Movements“ by Masoumeh Jalalieh and Daniel Zimmermann, which will take place with the support of eindorf on April 25 and 26 at WUK Vienna.

The dynamically evolving dance performance Carpet of Time by Masoumeh Jalalieh and Daniel Zimmermann makes the beauty of a non-hierarchical coexistence tangible through abstract movements, patterns, and sounds. Inspired by Persian carpet weaving, the technique of pattern singing, and the intricate geometry of oriental ornamentation, it connects traditional heritage with contemporary questions of perception, time, and resonance, becoming a symbol of resistance against hierarchical structures.
Jalalieh and Zimmermann move within a 9×9 grid, similar to a chessboard, to the rhythm of 40 beats per minute – a pace that evokes the heartbeat during sleep, when the body enters a state of regeneration. From simple movements and sounds, they develop increasingly complex patterns that allow boundless freedom within a limited space.

Together with the photographer, painter, and Austrian art award recipient Inge Dick, the musician and composer Christian Müller, the lighting designer Victor Duran, and the British choreographer and performer Jonathan Burrows, with special thanks for his valuable choreographic feedback, the artists create a performance that allows you to experience time and perception in a new way. Using a self-developed alphabet of movement, rhythm, and sound, a continuous, abstract narrative unfolds in the space shaped by Inge Dick’s video work Jahres Licht Weiß, revealing time as a complex, interconnected web in which past, present, and future coexist and are interconnected – beyond linear sequence, narration, or fixed hierarchy.
Carpet of Time is meant to evolve into a quiet manifesto, appearing as an artistic action in various locations and contexts, to make a powerful statement for transformation, freedom, and overcoming boundaries.

As lovers, neighbors, children, friends, parents, collaborators, and other kinds of connective beings, the artists share their concerns and imaginations for the condition of the world by thinking with rivers. Their shared artistic practices will move the visitors through forms of installations, walks, performances as well as a concert and a reading to open up to these collective reflections:

We turn to the Wienfluss and the geological conditions of the 15th district and follow the extended riverbed and streams through time. By turning to one river, we connect with all the other rivers. The rivers and their waters are veins: in our bodies, in the landscape. They are vulnerable, endangered habitats. The Wienfluß was flooded some months ago. We are also flooded. Swept away into a flowing oblivion. How we were. How we will be. How we could be. Here we invite to bring the attention on the everydayness of our senses and dances.

Again and again we listen to the river. We hear its song. The water carries memories. Of the land, of time. We touch the edges and are touched by them. Flushed by rivers, we want to learn from the water. From the flow. The waves. The horizontal and vertical branches. From the transitions, the living, from those who passed away. Witnessing water roots growing on soaked surfaces through touch, we braid dances and words. Our bodies do not belong to us, they are intertwined, part of each other and the living space. We practice cultivating what we have in common and what is different. We practice trust. Tributaries that we are, we come together from our familiar river land, bringing our gifts and attachment to share, celebrate and dream. we let them become foreign. Often on the threshold, lingering, leaking, moving, being moved, waving, whispering, weeping; full of desires, memories, hopes, and gratitude. In the midst of how crazy we make this world, we connect, practice, and invite a community to come.

Hosting Crust

soft at first
rough at least

January 29
Open Studio
Door opens: 6.30 pm
Intervention: 7 pm

by
Karine Blanche Seror
Ivan Jakaric
Jasmin Hoffer

In times of precarity,

three artists
with different backgrounds
meet
around food as a material
and
cooking as an artistic practice.

They reduce their *champ d’application* to the essential,
giving themselves the opportunity, at least, to nurture themselves.

They develop theory,
bridging language structures and cooking techniques.
They trace a line between hypermateriality and immateriality,
dancing in between the two ranges.

Like in politics,
they oscillate between opposition and negotiation,
challenging the binary,
transforming friction into creation,
and discord into shared sustenance.

They have a crust.
They are crust breakers.

For this project, they dedicate themselves to Crust Cooking,
exploring its techniques, ingredients, and recipes.
They develop a parallel language interweaving
gesture, visuals, soundscapes, and taste.

The phrase “They have a crust” refers to the English expression for “effrontery,” embodying boldness, resilience, and the courage to challenge norms.
“They are crust breakers” reflects their approach—breaking boundaries, dismantling conventions, and creating space for transformation.
The word *crust* also alludes to “earning one’s crust,” the struggle to sustain oneself.

Beyond that, it speaks to themes of transformation, resilience, and the tension between destruction and preservation. The crust symbolizes both fragility and protection—a threshold between rupture and inner vitality.

This evening is an invitation to explore the world of the crust:
its textures, meanings, and the stories it can hold.

You are warmly invited to join us as we share our work in progress,
breaking the crust together.

Art, body, illness, health and healing are central parameters of our existence. Based on this, we want to look at our body as an individual and a social one. We want to examine it from very different perspectives and at the same time in a wide variety of situations: What happens to people, their bodies and minds in absolute desperation and need? What healing options are there? How can we maintain a healthy body?

„On the one hand, we want to explore how we can restore the body. On the other hand it is about retelling the body and inventing new stories.“
– Linda Samaraweerová

The Viennese choreographer Linda Samaraweerová curates an eight-day program of performances, workshops, lectures and a laboratory. Questions arise about the body in the context of spirituality, ethics, art and healing. The national and international contributions approach the idea of ​​retelling and restoring the body.

The fascination of these days lies in the intensive encounters between artists, musicians, philosophers, managers, doctors and scientists. Visitors are invited to experience new approaches to the body and spiritual knowledge in a touching atmosphere.

You can experience artistic works by choreographers Ondine Cloez from France, Kotomi Nishiwaki from Japan/Spain, Venuri Perera from Sri Lanka, Zwoisy Mears-Clarke from Jamaica, the Indian filmmaker Ujjwal Kanishka Utkarsh, the Russian writer and director Ivan Strelkin and a concert by the Czech band Mantrovníci, embedded in lectures and talks by Arno Böhler (AT), Sven Hartberger (AT), Dr. Ajit Kulkarni (India), Valentina Desideri (IT), Johanna Zachhuber (AT), workshops by Larisa Francírková (CZ), Laurence Morlon (FR), Johanna Zachhuber (AT) and discussions – small snacks included.

Part of the salon is also a 5 day laboratory held by seven international performance and visual artists: Guadalupe Aldrete (MX/ AT), Anne Juren (FR/AT), Ondine Cloez (FR/BE), Oscar Cueto (MX/ AT), Kevin Fay (US/ BE), Kotomi Nishiwaki (JP/ ES), Linda Samaraweerová (CZ/AT).

RESTOR(Y)ING ECONOMY
Thoughts on the model of the common good economy (Gemeinwohl-Ökonomie) / in German language

Saturday 14.12.2024/ 11.00 – 12.30

Too much is unhealthy. Not just for the body, also for the soul. This applies to food and drink, as well as to work and activity.
A leisurely stroll from the failed mantra of restless acquisition to the salutary measure of a budgetary economy.
The path is not as difficult to find as the representatives of the mainstream economy, which is fossil-fuelled in every respect, would like us to believe. And it is very pleasant to walk.

BIO
Sven Hartberger, long-time director of the Vienna Opera Theater (1990 – 1999) and Klangforum Wien (1999 – 2020), speaks (briefly) about his three books on the subject, and a little longer about the model of the common good economy (Gemeinwohl Ökonomie) (for which he acts as speaker since 2021) and spends much longer with the guests of the festival on a talk about replacing the capitalist system of rule with one that is oriented towards the common good economic system.




Larisa Francírková
PHILOSOPHY OF YOGA AT WORK AND IN PRIVATE LIFE
Workshop – Saturday 14.12.2024 / 13.30 – 19.30

“ Make your work life what you want it to be. Stop looking for reasons why it doesn’t work in your particular case, and instead discover ways that will allow you to live a good and satisfied life at work. Work often does not bring a feeling of joy and satisfaction. Many will put up with it. However, you don’t have to endure that. Give yourself a chance to experience a sense of fulfillment, joy and purpose there, where many go only for money. How can yoga help you in this? “

It is said that every human life is imbued with a desire for happiness and meaning. And so I also researched what influences my experience of happiness and joy not only in my private life, but also in my working life. I believed that the longed-for feeling of fulfillment would come when I graduated, bought an apartment, met my life partner, completed a project, acquired another important client, fundamentally exceeded my business plan and went on a dream vacation. I worked in the state sector, in the non-profit sector, in a multinational corporation and in Czech companies. I put my life on hold for a lot of „ifs“, and waiting for it was filled with stress interspersed with the damned short-lived joy of success and fear of eventual failure.

PHILOSOPHY OF YOGA AT WORK AND IN PRIVATE LIFE
Yoga is not just a physical practice of asanas and breathing exercises. The oldest texts on the subject of yoga provide understandable instructions on how you can bring your private and professional life into harmony with your behavior and way of thinking. Learn the selected principles of the yoga tradition that have something to say to modern people and that you don’t normally learn in a regular physical yoga class. Try to follow the path of peace and harmony in everything you experience.

BIO
Larisa Francírková studied political science and international relations at FSV UK. Today she works as a coach and consultant in Czech and foreign companies. The focus is on the area of ​​self-realization, leadership and problem solving associated with increasing service quality and sales success.
She has a strong affinity for yoga and was fortunate to have as her teacher and close friend the yogi, scientist and physician Mukund Bhole, who is the world’s leading authority on matters of yoga related to human physical and mental health.

Therapeutical Aspects in Ancient Sacred Arts.
The Gnostic Heart
by Arno Böhler, Vienna

The vision of the gnostic heart (vijñāna-hṛda) is a recurring concept operative in ancient Indian-Philosophies. It is said that the Kavis, the spiritual poets were finding the truth of creation by virtue of their passionate research into their heart. Diving into the depth of the heart they finally witnessed the ascent of a life-force that allowed them to directly grasp the gnostic truth-of-being (satyam). A form of knowing, which goes hand in hand with a bodily felt intoxication that makes one think, but also feel that something is sound. It is this bodily-felt-sense that gave the ancients art a healing, that is, a sacred character? They had to convince one’s mind, but also one’s heart.

BIO
Arno Böhler is co-founder of the philosophy performance festival Philosophy On Stage and head of the residency program for arts-based philosophy and artistic research in South-India (baseCollective). Together with Susanne Valerie Granzer they have developed new cross-disciplinary strategies between philosophy and the arts to give back to philosophy its materiality, corporeality, sensibility and vulnerability. In this context Boehler was principal investigator of three additional research projects funded by the Austrian Science Funds (FWF): „Artist-Philosophers. Philosophy as Arts-Based Research” (AR 275-G21);“Generating Bodies” (TRP12-G21) and “Materiality and Temporality of Performative Speech-Acts” (P17600-G06).
Böhler was visiting research fellow at the University of Bangalore, the University of Heidelberg, New York University, University of Princeton and visiting professor at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, the University of Arts Bremen (HdK Bremen), the University of Vienna and Berlin University of the Arts (UdK Berlin).




Laurence Morlon
Introduction into the dance ritual Tantra Natyam
Workshop – SUNDAY 15.12.2024/ 11:00 – 14:00

Laurence Morlon takes the participants of her workshop on a journey to deepen the body sensations. Researched and developed within the Sri Vidya Tantra tradition, Tantra Natyam is a danced ritual, an invitation to a creative process of weaving breath, movement and consciousness together into a flow of moving stillness. Tantra Natyam is a devotional and meditative act of worship where the offering is of the Self to the Self, an act of surrender to embody Divine Energies, to give form to the Formless.

“Tantra Natyam weaves the Formless into form—a dance of devotion and surrender.”

BIO
Laurence Morlon~Trikona Devi
Laurence is trained in modern dance, Indian classical dance Bharata Natyam and Odissi, and the South Indian martial art Kalaripayattu. She has always put the spiritual quest at the heart of her life, exploring the body as it is lived, as a portal between a modern and ancient space, the tangible and the mystical. She spent many years in India dedicated to living daily the teachings with which she resonates, self exploring and immersing herself in the authenticity of the traditions that each of her masters embody.
She is initiated in Sri Vidya Tantra, tradition within which she researched and developed the performance of danced rituals with the blessing and guidance of her Guru Lakshman Gurukkal.




Mantrovníci
Concert
Sunday 15.12.2024 / 15:30

The Czech band Mantrovníci brings music to eindorf and plays songs that delight the soul, be it Czech lyrics or Indian mantras. They invite you to immerse yourself in contemplation, but also to joy and dance. In terms of genre, they are difficult to categorize; there are no clear boundaries in terms of repertoire and line-up. Nevertheless, the handwriting in the theme and in the musical expression is always legible in view of the spiritual orientation and the work of the author of most of the compositions, David Breiter.




Johanna Zachhuber

* Workshop – receptive music therapy
TUESDAY 17.12.2024/ 10.00 – 12.30

Receptive music therapy focuses on actively listening to music. After a phase of attunement, music is played to the participants that can have a physical and/or psychological effect on them. It is assumed that music can evoke subjectively significant memories and associations. The therapeutic processes are initiated here by, for example, talking about the feelings, body perceptions and visual images that have arisen after listening to the music together.

* Lecture on music therapy
WEDNESDAY 18.12.2024/ 18.30

In the lecture on music therapy, basic concepts, theory and new areas of research are presented.

Music can overcome illness and pain, it helps overcome states of suffering, and it often makes us forget the suffering. It can make us cry, make us perform at our best in sports, it calms us down, makes us happy or anxious. There’s just one thing music never does: it never leaves us cold. The power of music also benefits music therapy. In the music therapy setting, active playing, listening to music or even the voice are used, depending on the objective. Their goals are to relieve or eliminate symptoms, change behaviors and attitudes that require treatment, and promote, maintain, or restore health.

BIO
Mag. Johanna Maria Zachhuber, MMA is a singer, music therapist and singing teacher. She studied at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna and at the Music and Art Private University Vienna. In addition to her work as a concert and opera singer (Salzburg Festival, Bayreuth Festival, Volkstheater Vienna, Neue Oper Vienna, Kammeroper Vienna, Konzerthaus Vienna, Palace of Arts, Budapest), she teaches singing and has been a project assistant at the University of Music and Performing Arts since 2020 Art Vienna at the Vienna Center for Music Therapy Research and at the Vienna General Hospital. Among other things, she is dedicated to researching music therapeutic vocal interventions on scleroderma and cystic fibrosis patients. The concept of vocal intervention combines music therapy and singing pedagogical approaches with the aim of being able to individually address both psychological and physical aspects of the illness. Significant improvements were demonstrated both in catamnestic interviews with the patients and in numerous functional tests.




Dr. Ajit Kulkarni – homeopath
Lecture on identity, spirituality and homeopathy

Valentina Desideri
Artist Talk
Wednesday 18.12.2024/ 19.45

“I explore art making as a form of study and study as a form of making art. I see study as something we do with others in specific arrangements: the way we seek modes of knowing that produce other possibilities of living together. I consider study an aesthetic and ethical practice: aesthetic for it experiments with sensibility and composition, and ethical insofar as it rehearses modes of living and knowing otherwise.
In this talk I would like to present a trajectory through some of the practices that compose my Studio Practice, from Fake Therapy, to Political Therapy to the Sensing Salon, focusing in particular on how those practices have shifted my attention from healing to sensing, from restoring health (as a goal) to sensing and making sense, feeling and thinking, at once (as an ongoing practice).”

BIO
Valentina Desideri explores art making as a form of study and study as a form of making art. She is an artist, teacher and community organizer. She is a researcher at Centre for the Arts and the PoliticalImaginary at KKH/HDK-Valand in Sweden and a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Critical Racial AntiColonial Studies Co-Lab at NYU. She does Fake Therapy and Political Therapy, and is one of the co-organizes of Performing Arts Forum, an artist-run space in the north of France. She collaborates with Denise Ferreira da Silva, with whom she developed the practice of Poethical Readings (2015), The Sensing Salon (2016), and lately Reading With Echo (2024), all still ongoing.




Venuri Perera and Zwoisy Mears-Clarke
Filmscreening
THURSDAY 19.12.2024 / 18.30/ Duration 30min

Porcelain White
Venuri Perera and Zwoisy Mears-Clarke, born oceans apart in former colonies of Britain, find that they have in common a ‘whitened’ inheritance. They were both brought up in the English-speaking middle class, which maintains certain practices adopted from the former colonial masters, that protect their social status. Conversing across continents, they probe their complicity. In this film, they unravel the complexities and limits of their inherited privilege as they inhabit neocolonial spaces.

Venuri Perera
Venuri Perera is a choreographer, performance artist, curator, and educator based in Amsterdam. Exploring the power dynamics of visibility and opacity, she attempts to disorient how we perceive the „other.“ She subverts frameworks of existing rituals to create alternate dramaturgies. She works with found objects and is curious about space and place. Perera’s solo and collaborative works deal with violent nationalism, patriarchy, border rituals, colonial heritage, and class. They have been in festivals and biennales across Europe, South and East Asia, the Middle East, and Africa since 2010.

A graduate of DAS (Arts) Theatre, Perera has an MA in Clinical Psychology (Pune, India). She was a member of the Chitrasena Dance Company and a founding member of The Packet Collective. Perera conceived and curated the programs of the Colombo Dance Platform (2016-20, Goethe-Institut), and is committed to creating support networks for the independent dance scene in Sri Lanka.

Zwoisy Mears – Clarke
Zwoisy Mears-Clarke currently resides in Rösrath and views himself as a choreographer of the encounter. Zwoisy makes use of the potential in dance to make forms of oppression like neo-colonialism, sexism and ableism visible and to enable encounters that would be impossible under any other conditions. The performances often take place at unconventional sites or also outdoors. Through the transition between spoken languages and languages of movement and through putting the proscenium to good use, Zwoisy Mears-Clarke’s choreographies offer the opportunity to meet oneself and other people anew.




Ujjwal Kanishka Utkarsh
Lecture Performance: From Shadows to the Stars
THURSDAY 19.12.2024/ 19.30/ duration 45min

“Let my funeral be silent and smooth. Behave like I just appeared and gone. Do not shed tears for me. Know that I am happy dead than being alive. ‘From shadows to the stars.”|
This is an eXcerprt from Rohith Vemula’s suicide letter. Rohith killed humself due to the institutional harassment he faced for being vocal and politically active Dalit student.is death caused a wave of protests across India. The state tried to and succeedded in suppressing many of them.
Among the events the state suppressed was a candlelight vigil organised for him in Delhi. Attending this vigil, I started recording some sounds and ended up making a filmic piece, Special Service. This lecture-performance is a reflection on making the work, conteXtualising it with the sequence of events around it.

BIO
Ujjwal Kanishka Utkarsh is a Phd-in-Practice candidate at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna, ujjwal kanishka utkarsh has been trying to develop a form that emerges out of the observational cinema tradition. In the past years, he has been trying to see if and how through this form he can look at and reflect upon direct political activity and social movements. While ujjwal primarily makes films while frequently dabbling into other forms like photography, sound and theater. His works have been showcased in several national and international film festivals, eXhibitions, video art festivals and so on. He has also been teaching in various aspects of filmmaking in several institutes across India and in Vienna.

Ivan Strelkin
Performance “Das Solo der vergewaltigten Geige“ / (In German language)
FRIDAY 20.12.2024/ 19.30

In his solo of the raped violin, the Russian director and writer Ivan Strelkin traces the fate of seven people who came to Vienna in a war-torn world and are looking for a new identity. The seven characters and their stories played by Strelkin are based on actual events. In their linguistic power and fantasy, the texts of “Das Solo der vergewaltigten Geige“ take on Bulgakovian traits. The production oscillates between literature and dance and thus forms a bridge between language and intense physicality: the energy of the text passes into the movement and returns again; the recitation is organized rhythmically and melodically like a musical composition and, together with the movement score, creates an original form of performativity.

BIO
Ivan Strelkin was born in 1988. In 2010 he completed his BA in acting and directing at the St. Petersburg State Theater Academy. In 2013 he was invited as resident director at the Vene Teater (Tallinn, Estonia), where he spent the following three years. He then studied choreography (MA) at the Folkwang University of the Arts and worked as a choreographer and director in Bochum, Luxembourg, Lecce, Montepulciano, etc. In 2021 he moved to Vienna, where he currently lives and works as a freelance director and writer.
He was nominated to Retzhof Dramapreis 2025.
Strelkin is part of the program „Forum Text“ by uniT Graz, it is an educational program for theater writers
Ivan`s piece „Die Düntzer Rhapsodie“ won the Publikumspreis by Drachengasse Nachwuchswettbewerb 2024.

Ondine Cloez & Kotomi Nishiwaki
The first word of the first poem of the first collection is basket
Performance – Saturday 21.12.2024 / 19.30

The reality,
what we do perceive of it,
we are translating
into tanka. We shout it
until something else appears.

A tanka is a short form of Japanese poetry in 31 syllables (5-7-5-7-7) that reveals something previously unseen or unknown: a feeling, a sensation, a memory, a wish, a fantasy. In their duet The first word of the first poem of the first collection is basket, the choreographers Ondine Cloez from France and Kotomi Nishiwaki from Japan translate everything that happens to them when they are on stage. It is a conversation in which past, present, misunderstandings, complicity and confusion mix. But it is also a performance of the feelings that run through their bodies between gentle whispers and violent screams.

BIOs

Ondine Cloez (1979) studied at PARTS, then at Exerce in 2002. Since then, she has worked as a performer with numerous choreographers, directors and artists (Antoine Defoort & Halory Goerger, Loïc Touzé, Linda Samaraweerova, Sara Manente, Grand Magasin, a.o) In 2018, she created her first piece Vacances vacance, followed by L’art de conserver la santé (2021) based on an anonymous 13th-century work: Regimen Sanitatis Salerniatnum, and its version for parks and gardens, La ballade des simples and a concert version Salerno. In 2020-21, she is artist-in-residence at Laboratoires d’Aubervilliers, where she offers performances, readings, workshops and lectures.
She regularly teaches in various higher art schools and universities.

Kotomi Nishiwaki (1978) studied in Zurich and then at PARTS. She is a performer, choreographer and actress. She has worked, among others, with and for Joao Fiadeiro, Meg Stuart on stage; and Isabel Coixet, Alex & David Pastor for cinema. In 2015 she moved to Barcelona and in 2017 founded Park Keito with Miquel Casaponsa, where they develop research and creation of stage projects. They are currently working on a new project ROKATEI, supported by La Caldera, Barcelona and AltoFest Napoli.
After meeting in 2000 while studying at PARTS, Ondine & Kotomi decided in 2021 to begin a long research project based on the first collection of Japanese poetry Man’yoshū or collection of the ten thousand leaves (of trees) whose first word of the first poem of the first collection is komoyo meaning basket.




Liminal Spaces: Tracing Dreams, Fears, and Futures
Exhibition by Manuela Picallo Gil
curated by Guadalupe Aldrete

opening: Tuesday, 19/11/2024

workshop for teenagers: Of Fears, Hopes and Actions

open Working Day: Wednesday, 20/11/2024 from 15:00 to 17:00

exhibition duration: 20/11 – 10/12/2024

finissage: Tuesday, 10/12/2024

More visiting dates on request: eindorf.kunstraum@gmail.com

Free entrance

The works in this exhibition move in the field of tension between fears, dreams, hopes and actions. To what extent can we delve deeper into the origins of our fears and negative energies, give them a concrete form and develop strategies to use them as a resource? The artistic contributions aim to create movement – they reflect on paralyzing emotions, recurring fears, possible scope for action and the process of self-empowerment.

The prints Digging for Shades explore fears, nightmares, dreams and memories – inspired by narratives from different generations and epigenetic perspectives. At the same time, Somos Semillas multimedia objects in the space deal intensively with moments of hope and new possibilities for action. The video work Poetic Anxious Memories combines these thoughts, stories and interpretations into a multi-layered picture.

This project is supported by the Stadt Wien, Bezirksförderung des 15. Wiener Bezirks, Bildrecht, OeAD-GmbH — Agentur für Bildung und Internationalisierung and eindorf.

DIFFRACTIVE DIALOGUES
BACKPULVER – Think and practice Tank for Contemporary Dance

when: October 28th, 29th, 30th from 9:30 to 14:30

anmeldung: HERE!

Pay as you wish!

Inspired by Karen Barad’s concept of diffractive engagement, BACKPULVER has developed Diffractive Dialogues—immersive three-day programs designed to facilitate in-depth interactions between local artists and their practices. This format emphasizes the dynamics of intersecting, overlapping, and diverging ideas that emerge from heterogeneous encounters between artistic practices and embodied experiences. Central to the Diffractive Dialogues are the guiding questions: What if giving feedback became an act of „reading through“—diffracting artistic material through one’s practice? How might this shift transform the feedback process? Over three days, artists Malcolm Manning, Andrew Champlin, and Sebastian Bechinger will engage participants in dialogues rooted in their distinct practices. By examining both commonalities and differences, the aim is to cultivate a collective critical approach to the materials and themes emerging within the working group. This collaborative setting encourages the sharing of insights and the challenging of assumptions, ultimately enriching the community’s understanding of strategies for building shared knowledge.

Free entrance

In der Ausstellung widmen sich Guadalupe Aldrete, Iris Dittler und Agnes Schneidewind den künstlerischen Prozessen und Zeichnungen, die ihre Arbeit begleiten und weiterentwickeln. In mehreren Arbeitsphasen haben sie ihre Körper- und Zeichenpraktiken miteinander geteilt und so das sonst einsame Zeichnen in einen gemeinsamen Raum gebracht. In der Ausstellung eröffnen sie ihre individuellen Zugänge zum Zeichnen als Momentaufnahmen und Ausdrucksformen von Wahrnehmungen, Erinnerungen, erfahrungsbasierter Anatomie und Unbewusstem.
Für die Künstlerinnen ist Zeichnen eine Praxis, die den Körper von patriarchalen und normativen Vorstellungen befreien soll. Diese Praxis bezieht sich auf eine Wahrnehmung der Körper in ihrer Geschichte, ihren Erlebnissen und ihrer Vielfalt. Die Zeichnungen entziehen sich konventionellen Körperbildern und lenken stattdessen den Blick auf die Fülle der inneren Welten.

ABOUT COOK, EAT and CLEAN

Gezeigt werden Performances, Installationen, Musik und Filmbeiträge. So ist unter anderen der international auftretende Tänzer und Choreograf Mostafa Shabkhan mit zwei Performances vertreten.

Die Musikerin Toranj Mashayekhi zeigt gemeinsam mit Masoumeh Jalalieh eine Live-Sound-Performance mit Küchengegenständen. Die Performance-Künstlerin Yalda Pakzad kommt eigens aus Rom angereist, da sich ihre Performances hauptsächlich um die Idee von Kochen drehen – und damit perfekt in das Konzept von “COOK, EAT, and CLEAN” passen.

Die Installation der in Österreich lebenden Künstlerin Ahoo Maher’s installation ist ein symbolisches Monument, das die Betrachter*innen mit ihrem eigenen gebrochenen Spiegelbild konfrontiert, und Teil einer Ausstellung sein wird.

Der Performer und Choreograf Sina Saberi mit Wohnsitz in Hamburg wird zwei Episoden seiner Trilogie vorstellen: den Prozess seiner neuen Kreation, die in einigen Tagen im Kampnagel Premiere haben wird.

Der Filmemacher, Schauspieler und Choreograf Alireza Keymanesh hat für seine experimentellen Tanzfilme „Flatland“ und „My Lovely Home“ mehrere Preise auf verschiedenen Festivals gewonnen. Beide Filme werden im Salon “COOK, EAT, and CLEAN” zu sehen sein.

Darüber hinaus gibt es weitere Beiträge von Nazanin Mehraein, Shirin Farshbaf, Kimiya Rastgou Moghadam, Hannaneh Heydari,Golara Ghofrani, Ava Jalali, Behzad Gholami, Roya Keshavarz, Lagha Ghavam und Maryam Farahi, Tanin Torabi, Nima Noury, Avin Ahmadi sowie Parmiss Rahmani.

Iranian artist Masoumeh Jalalieh, alongside 20 other artists from Iran, invites the public to the „COOK, EAT, and CLEAN“ salon at eindorf from 29 May to 2 June. The salon at eindorf is characterised by the fact that the audience can experience the performances in an intimate and direct atmosphere.

Performances, installations, music and film contributions will be shown. Among others, the international dancer and choreographer Mostafa Shabkhan is represented with two performances.

Together with Masoumeh Jalalieh, musician Toranj Mashayekhi will present a live sound performance with kitchen utensils. Performance artist Yalda Pakzad has travelled all the way from Rome, as her performances mainly revolve around the idea of cooking – and therefore fit perfectly into the concept of „COOK, EAT, and CLEAN“.

Austrian-based artist Ahoo Maher’s installation is a symbolic monument that confronts viewers with their own broken reflection and will be part of an exhibition.

Hamburg-based performer and choreographer Sina Saberi will present two episodes of his trilogy: the process of his new creation, which will premiere at Kampnagel in a few days.

The filmmaker, actor and choreographer Alireza Keymanesh has won several prizes at various festivals for his experimental dance films „Flatland“ and „My Lovely Home“. Both films will be shown in the „COOK, EAT, and CLEAN“ salon.

There will also be further contributions from Nazanin Mehraein, Shirin Farshbaf, Kimiya Rastgou Moghadam, Hannaneh Heydari, Golara Ghofrani, Ava Jalali, Behzad Gholami, Roya Keshavarz, Lagha Ghavam and Maryam Farahi, Tanin Torabi, Nima Noury, Avin Ahmadi and Parmiss Rahmani.

School
Film (20 min) by Behzad Gholami

Possibilities
Performance (20 min) by Shirin Farshbaf

Starting from the poem Possibilities by Wisława Szymborska as a departure point, Shirin Farshbaf will delayer and contextualize the meaning as appropriate to our life experiences and relevant to the contemporary world.
This process will question our preferences and choices by generating impulses for movement improvisations to channel the concepts and challenge them through personal narrative and physical expression.

Metaphor
Performance (20 min) by Shirin Farshbaf

Emotional reality is unparalleled in any experience. Every experience is subject to repetition. Every repetition has an underlying change and whether consciously or unconsciously we bring that change out. The focus would be on these fleeting yet consolidating moments. Repetitive movement and minute change.

BIO
Shirin Farshbaf

Shirin Farshbaf is a dance/performance artist from Iran, currently living in Austria, with over a decade of performance and creation experience. Her performative works reflect the state of society and transform the body through different possibilities of movement.

The core of her conceptual works is always the body in correlation/connection with different materials or situations. She is currently studying Master of Art Education (Dance) program at MUK University of Vienna.

Room
Performance (20 min) Mostafa Shabkhan

Each person has a room that is a safe and tranquil place for them, a place that seems to reflect
their solitude and serenity. This room can represent a real home or even an album of memories
for each individual. It’s a space where one can distance themselves from the perspectives of
others and the everyday stresses, and connect with their inner selves.

ZOORKHANEH
Performance (30 min) Mostafa Shabkhan

Literally translated as “House of Strength”, ZOORKHANEH is a traditional, all-men gymnasium where PAHLEVANS (athletes/heroes) do ancient sports in their unified tight pants called TONOKEH. There is a sunken 1m-deep circular (or octagonal) pit in the center of the ZOORKHANEH called GAUD where the activities happen. There are tools used for weight training and calisthenics, such as wooden clubs (MIL), bow-shaped iron weights (KABBADEH), metal shields (SANG), push-up plates (TAKHTEH SHENA), and the bell (ZANG). Its history goes back to 132 BC and has its roots in ancient Iranian myths where warriors and heroism are often expressed. This performance is inspired by movements and gestures that are pivotal in the ZOORKHANEH as well as whispers and chants in the dagger dance of TORKAMAN SAHRA; a dance just for men which moves in a circle. I explore how these notions affect me as a contemporary mover.
On the other hand, based on life experiences and concerns, I’ve come to the idea that these rooms can be seen as points of the most hidden realities and personal desires. In this project, I aim to create a virtual and engaging room with the help of participants, reflecting their choices and decisions in different environments within this room. Through this project, individuals are sufficiently free to define themselves in this hypothetical environment and make their decisions. They can also, like a window, look into the rooms of Others. This idea, which has been of interest to me from the past until now, continues to evolve and change, taking on different forms and shapes according to the needs and circumstances of individuals.

The Window
Kurzfilm (5:31 min) by Mostafa Shabkhan

“A wind was blowing And I was placed in a sketch And I appeared in the pitch darkness of my room. For whom was I appearing?” Sohrab Sepehri
The initial idea for This video originated from seeing a few photos taken by Mani (the project’s filmmaker and photographer), who spoke to me about the space of those photos and their stories. It was decided that I would visit the location, do some exploration there, and take some shots, and then it was planned that one day I would dance there based on my personal feelings about the space, while Mani would film. Then I handed the rushes over to an editor who, based on their interpretation, I wasn’t satisfied with the initial edit. I then told another person, but again it didn’t meet my expectations. Until it reached Anoushirvan and his friend, and the work was edited and sound-designed by him, leading to this output. In fact, this project was a collaboration for me with three people and maybe with three different perspectives that sometimes converged and sometimes diverged. It includes the space of that ruined house, my dancing, and our conversations and images together.

Damnoosh In Memoriam
Performance by Sina Saberi

This is an introspective talk on the second part of my 2016 trilogy. The starting point of this performance was the Iranian dramatic storytelling, Naqqali in which the performer recounts stories in verse, prose, gestures, and movement. Seven plants would join forces from seven corners of Iran and infuse into an elixir of togetherness. The piece traveled through 10 different cities around the world between 2017 and 2020, the last one being a cancelled performance, planned for March 2020 in Lisbon. Over 4 years later, I have made a decision not to perform Damnoosh anymore and in this talk, I will take you through the memory of the piece, share my reasons for the said decision and spill some tea. This is not a mourning.

Nargess in progress
Performance by Sina Saberi

Basis for being نرگس is the title of the final chapter of my 2016 trilogy which started with Prelude,
progressed with Damnoosh, and which recently actualized as Narges. This piece is inspired by a research process that began in 2014, and after one decade, took its present form.
Taking the context of the Iranian house party [Mehmooni], the audience observes a journey of self-exploration through moving images of a past that is no longer personal or present. The piece was developed between 2017 and 2020 and was supposed to premiere in early 2021 in Hamburg. However, destiny had different plans and due to a 3-year interruption, it finally premiered 2 weeks ago at Kampnagel.
In this lecture performance, I share how a solo piece turned into an artistic process joined by 8 other artists and how the halt became a determining factor in its conception. One of these artists and my collaborator/friend, Bita Bell will be joining me for this conversation.

His practice and research are inspired by his cultural background and revolve around the idea of dance as an alternate state of being. Where can the personal and the public connect and ultimately arrive to a point of togetherness? This is reflected in his trilogy Prelude, Damnoosh & Narges which he has been sharing internationally since 2016. Sina has been actively involved within the Iranian dance community since 2014 and is the founder of Kahkeshan Dance; an indeterminate space for choreographic creations and dance outreach.
