Habitat / DOMENIG STEINHAUS

Premiere 2022, DOMENIG STEINHAUS

In Habitat / DOMENIG STEINHAUS Doris Uhlich develops a performance for 30 people who inhabit the house on Lake Ossiach for two days and physically engage with it. In the process, the group celebrates their unity and diversity. Habitat is a shameless but also a free-of-shame hymn to a naked body beyond cultural inscriptions and conventional ideals of beauty. The body is not devalued to the level of a fetish, an object; and carnality is neither metaphorically nor poetically ideologised but understood in a material sense and is therefore presented in all its mass and weight yet also in its fragility. The project transcends conventional ideas of the body, of dance and of nakedness in a subversive manner.

Habitat can be developed in different places with local people. Doris Uhlich is interested in working with large ensembles, which are developed temporarily at specific places in order to transform dance into a collective ritual.
