How do we relate to the objects around us and who is actually attached to whom?
Humans are used to seeing themselves as authorities on earth - but this perspective is increasingly faltering. In their latest work, Hanschitz & Beierer negotiate the problematic relationship between humans and objects in the post-modern age. Three performers and a Cyr Wheel use acrobatics and dance to embark on a journey between control, dependency and sensual utopia.
Objects weave our reality - are we ready to feel?
About the Company
Sandra Hanschitz and Joël Beierer work together on interdisciplinary dance and circus productions that are strongly characterised by their clear aesthetic language and immersive quality of experience - with the Cyr Wheel at the centre of their work. With their project ‘IIIII - about the art of letting go’, they have been touring Central Europe together since 2021 and had the opportunity to present their work as part of the German Showcase at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2024. Hanschitz & Beierer create approachable and reflective works in the field of tension between stillness and loss of control: the personal becomes collective, philosophy comes alive and the conceptual can be physically experienced.
For their piece ‘still.dependent’ they are collaborating with the Salzburg choreographer Heidrun Neumayer, the dancers Linda Pilar Brodhag and Lorena Madurga, dramaturge Arne Mannott, lighting designer Steffen Melch, Outside Eye Bettina Földesi and narrator Anja Schweitzer.
