Alex Baczyński-Jenkins: New Work

Dance & Performance: New Work

Fri 21. & Sat 22.02., 19.30h, TQW Halle G, Austrian Premiere

The intricacies of queer life, desire and collectivity play a significant role in Alex Baczyński-Jenkins’ artistic practice. Through choreographic methods, he explores the subtle nuances of interdependence and suspended time. His distinctive embodied vocabulary and minimal, tactile visuality swerve from the most fleeting gesture to the infrastructure of the performance context.

After captivating Viennese audiences with the mesmerising work Untitled (Holding Horizon), Baczyński-Jenkins returns to Tanzquartier for a world premiere. His new group piece is dedicated to the theme of finitude. A dynamic dance navigates the tension between ecstatic abandon, the erotic dissolution of boundaries, the grand finale, horror and dissociation, all while seeking to capture the ambivalent emotional experience of the ending: intense and disconnected.
