The interdisciplinary performance begins by tracing the footsteps of the trans* artist and sex worker Liddy Bacroff, who was murdered under the National Socialist regime. The Hamburg-based choreographer René*e Reith follows those ghosts that take possession of a person, those one leaves behind oneself, and those that return restlessly because something has remained unfinished. »Dances of Almost Forgotten Ghosts« opens a space for the audience in which their own bodies and movements become carriers of memory and imagination. In an interactive performance, René*e Reith and her team combine contemporary dance with biographical performance.

René*e Reith is pursuing a practice-based artistic PhD at the MUK (Music and Arts Private University of the City of Vienna), focusing on the staging of transness in contemporary dance and performance. On stage are Heinrich Horwitz, Géraldine Schabraque, Tubi Malcharzik, and Alexander Hahne, whose distinct performative approaches combine dance, singing, and performance into a multilayered space of remembrance. All of them are experts in their artistic fields and, through their own trans perspectives, have for several years been engaged in activism, education, and performance aimed at critically addressing patriarchal and hegemonic structures while simultaneously strengthening the visibility and rights of trans people.
