GAP

Housing is a basic human need, but it is becoming increasingly difficult for many people to find affordable living space. In GAP, Doris Uhlich works with formerly homeless people. The stage becomes a space where the performers expatiate, both physically and linguistically. Their biographies and bodies are archives of personal histories and traces of lives – more than subjective narratives; they make the history of the present come alive. The performance addresses precarity and disappearance, e.g. by designing temporary spaces and landscapes with transparent, inflatable objects reminiscent of elementary forms of construction.
