Doris Uhlich (AT): more than enough
Date: Sun, Aug 7, 21:00-21:50
Venue: Halle G
What makes a \"beautiful\" female body, when its image is reduced to lean and sporty Photoshop nymphs or silicon-assisted ideal shapes? Doris Uhlich, one of Austria\'s most sought-after choreographers these days, enters the stage in a fur coat and golden pumps with an oversized bun. She recites from Baudelaire\'s \"Flowers of Evil\" and makes a phone call: \"I\'m calling you because I\'m fat...\" Is her body \"more than enough\"? Uhlich stands in front of her audience in a determined posture, taking ironic revenge on the standardisation of the body together with Tale Dolven from Rosas.
