On Horses – Sports Edition

Eva Hintermaier | Simon Kalus

60 minutes
Sports hall

The sports edition of the performance »On Horses« sends powerful narratives into the race. Two performers and a life-size wooden horse go all out between pony farm and hard dressage. It’s about the life and death of horses as sports equipment, about recreational fun and an interspecies (competitive) battle.

Eva Hintermaier | Simon Kalus are a transdisciplinary team at the interface of performance, installation and literature.
