In her work, choreographer Hannah Schillinger and performer Aaron Lang explore the theme of European agricultural labour through the lens of contemporary dance.
Taking a kaleidoscopic view, „Field Work“ explores the connections between agricultural work and performative practice, with physical labour, rhythm, ritual, cooperation, and social imprints at the centre. Against the backdrop of a poetic-surreal landscape comprising sculptural stage elements and digital simulation, a space emerges where nature, humans and technology converge to establish a new equilibrium. Adopting a queer-feminist perspective on Alpine culture and folklore, this performance challenges traditional narratives and invites us to reconsider cultural heritage.
