This event is part of the series CRITICAL FRIDAYS. Here, we move beyond the outdated separation of body, mind, and soul and instead explore embodied cognition and the cognitive powers of the somatic. The focus is on the body as a medium for artistic and ritual practices. We foster dialogues with experts from the fields of science, art, and care work. Performances, workshops, readings, and film screenings serve as our starting point for collective reflections, in which we bridge the gap between closeness and distance, between personal experiences and avant-garde cultural theories.
Michaël Reinhold’s personas are loud, playful, sometimes more animal and sometimes more childlike. With a keen eye, Reinhold captures societal patterns of language and behavior that mask taboos and uncomfortable feelings, and he appropriates this embodied knowledge through his performances. At times he mimics these societal patterns; at others, he exaggerates them to the point of unbearability. He has developed a multitude of different characters, along with their life stories and worlds, and imbued them with personal and collective details. He now carries their traces within himself and alternately gives them space in his performances. Or do they perhaps seize the space on the surface all by themselves? As part of Critical Fridays, Reinhold brings all his fictional characters with him and, through dialogue with them, leads us to the edges of social conventions and into our own discomfort. In the self-help group of the Anonymous Performers, they ask themselves whether healing and reintegration into society is even possible for them.
