"WE"

Chilean choreographer Amanda Piña, who lives in Vienna, has been analysing the “SELF” and the other (“YOU”) in her works so far. She resolutely continues on this path with the performance “WE” – a cooperation with fine artist Daniel Zimmermann – now exploring ideas regarding collectivity and unity. Not only is there no clear-cut distinction between performers and the audience in “WE”, Piña and Zimmermann also do away with the common idea of “audience participation”, but don’t worry: you can hardly experience yourselves as a group in a more carefree and cheerful manner…

“With humour, a knowledge of human nature and an excellent script, ‘WE’ becomes a celebration of recognition, of identifying with one’s own mirror image and of the pleasure of being assigned a role. […] The pair of artists seems to relish in annulling logics and visualising hidden demands.” (Helmut Ploebst, Der Standard)
