COSMICBODIES

Ursina Tossi

Tremble. Touch. Sense if that rock is a rock or an alien. Harmonize with chemicals. Transform. Vibrate. Breath. Confound the »human« with your smell organs.Aliens embody the threatening – the absolutely different – the foreign, the other, the incomprehensible, the feminine, the wild, the chaotic and the monstrous! Their bodies guard the boundaries of the possible and threaten all order. In »COSMICBODIES« seven alien bodies move from their own inner world into outer space – until outer space and inner space merge.
»COSMICBODIES« is a dance piece for people with and without visual impairments and integrates an artistic audio description. After »Blue Moon« and »Witches«, is it is the third work by Ursina Tossi from »EXCESSIVE SHOWING you can only dismantle the master’s house with the monster’s tools!«, a choreographic series of critical queer-feminist perspectives on the constructions of femininity and monstrous bodies in the context of mythology, history(-ies) and pop culture.
