MEDIATHEK

A solo performance about the very thin, gray zone between disgust and excitement, self-control and madness, good manners and uncontrollable violence: the patient, Valerie IX, has been plagued with a lifelong disgust of and aggression against people. She harps on to the attentive audience, who has taken on the role of the therapist, about her family history of traditions and good manners from which she is so desperately yet, unsuccessfully, trying escape. Careful: unpleasant parallels to your own behaviour may become evident!

Intim

The fusion of private and public life is the ubiquitous topic of our times.  Social networks, reality-TV, spying scandals and surveillance – all these have become everyday phenomena. But how exactly does this translate from private life over into the intimate? This year’s Freischwimmer Festival is sending seven artists and groups out on the search for intimacy. Where does the difference between intimacy and privacy lie? How can this even be addressed in a public theatre? Where can boundaries be drawn or crossed, perspectives be inverted, flipping the inside out, or sharing phobias and desires? Freischwimmer 2014/15 finds intimacy in Danish television and Austrian train stations, in slippery radio shows or motherly gyms, at the taxidermists’, in unusual family stories or in a very private dance performance in a public space.
