Building on this year’s Ars Electronica Festival subject, the performer and choreographer Silke Grabinger will approach the concept of utopia and dystopia through a performative installation of the subject. The Sound of Music will serve as the basis for the performative realization, the original step sequences will be brought into focus, subjected to a repetitive movement transformation and transported into the present. — Interpreted through an urban and contemporary approach.
