A rigorous ballet masterclass under the direction of Beatrice Cordua - the first ballerina to dance 'Le Sacre de Printemps' in the nude (John Neumeier's 'Le Sacre', 1972) - provides the framework for 'TANZ', Austrian choreographer Florentina Holzinger's distinctive performance now on our main stage.

Embedded in a Suspiria-like atmosphere, we witness the destruction of the female archetypes, motifs from ballet, comedy and pornography are part of the common rituals that the dancers - women between the ages of twenty and eighty - use to master their bodies. Sometimes it gets really uncomfortable - for who determines the ideal of beauty in dance and at the same time the limits of what the human body can withstand?

Choreographer Florentina Holzinger is known for her powerful physical performances.

Please note that a number of scenes contain very explicit nudity, intense self-pain and blood. This may be disturbing to some viewers. Strobe light effects are used and smoking on stage.
