Antonia Baehr
Abecedarium Bestiarium
- Performance Portraits of affinities in animal metaphors / Performance in English French and German
Following the example of her internationally acclaimed solo ›LAUGH‹, presented at PACT in 2011, choreographer and performer Antonia Baehr has again invited friends to write compositions for her. This time for ›Abecedarium Bestiarium‹ she proposed they write short pieces for an ABC of extinct animals: D for dodo, T for the Tasmanian tiger… Each author was asked for a score singling out their affinity with an extinct animal of their choice while reflecting metaphorically on their friendship with the choreographer. Drawing on her contributors’ different modes of expression, Baehr presents a wondrous selection of miniatures in heterogeneous styles and moods incorporating text, sound, movement and film.
