Tickets 16.03. 20h Tickets 17.03. 18hIn the latest production of her ›Monument‹ series, choreographer Eszter Salamon in artistic collaboration with Boglàrka Börcsök and Sylvie Garot, nears the life and work of the German avant-garde artist Valeska Gert through a shifting collection of performative acts. As early as the 1920’s, Gert’s performance practice was defined by radical experimentation with the themes of gender, race and national identity. Despite her artistic fearlessness, the importance of Valeska Gert’s role in art, dance and performance history has long been disregarded.
Eszter Salamon invites the audience to an encounter with Gert beyond documentary history writing and art historical discourse and leads them through an empirical archive spanning autobiography and imagination. Similar to an archaeological excavation site, ›The Valeska Gert Monument‹ brings the apparently untraceable, unheard and unseen to the surface and, through the practice of speculative historiography, establishes a terrain of new meanings and references.
