Habitat / Wiesbaden

Habitat is a celebration of all bodies, ages and genders. International choreographer Doris Uhlich is known for her poetic and subversive staging of naked bodies in public spaces. In Wiesbaden, she creates a bold and shameless ode to the body that goes beyond cultural clichés and common conceptions of beauty, exposing both the power and fragility than lie within us.
Habitat is a utopia. 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 ideologized but understood in a material sense and is therefore presented in all its mass and weight yet also in its fragility.
