Precarious Moves

At first, the two-time Nestroy Prize winner Michael Turinsky wonders if he should write a love letter to communism ‘as a genuine movement’. Or is it a better idea to tweet about socialism and its relation­ship to the bicycle or wheelchair? But in the end – stick to what you know! – he devotes himself in this solo to his deviant gestures in a field between choreography and disability. The outstanding Viennese dancer and body philosopher takes a stand against the norms of mobility culture, advo­cates understanding and consideration of ‘different’ ways of moving alongside one’s ‘own’.
