SUN site specific
Aiming high – as a further development of her play SUN in SUN site specific, Doris Uhlich has the celestial body land on the Bergisel ski jump. Performative actions, both solo and in a group, accompanied by electronic sounds, enter into a dialogue with the architecture and history of the venue. The performance subversively transcends conventional notions of the body, dance and nudity.
‘I am creating the performance SUN site specific for the Bergisel ski jump as part of INNSBRUCK INTERNATIONAL. Biennial of the Arts 2024. I am performing the sun in the open air! There will be different stations to which I will take the audience. Except for the winter season, the sun dances on the ski jump – in a place where one wishes for cold, snowy winters, but where global warming does not go unnoticed.’
