Magical

Do magic and feminism go together? Anne Juren, the French choreographer
living in Vienna, and Annie Dorsen, the New York based director, attempt to
prove that it can: it’s alchemical, it’s political and it works. Expanding
on Juren's solo „Magical“, they create a feature-length version, together with
magician Steve Cuiffo, which premieres at this year’s ImPulsTanz. The
subversive potential of the illusionary trick and the reference to artists
like Carolee Schneemann and Marina Abramovic underline the intention to
ironically but effectively irritate and spectacularly blind the look that
consumes the female body.
