Exhibition at Combinat

The Austrian performance artist Florentina Holzinger demolishes stage genres and visual habits. Setting out from Paul Hindemith’s one-act opera "Sancta Susanna" (premiered in 1922), she joins forces with an ensemble of opera singers, sex workers and body modification artists to investigate the way female identities and bodies are trimmed in religious systems and rites.

This evening sees four performers undergo an absurd orgy of entrances and exits, a luscious confusion of roles, costumes and scene changes. The actors appear remote controlled as they react to sounds played by a ghostlike director.
