Kristina Dreit #TakeHeart (07.02. - 20.02.2022)

KRISTINA DREIT works performatively, choreographically, dramaturgically and spatially in various constellations. The research project “Aggregatzustand” serves as a starting point for an investigation of diverse material histories in the context of performative arts. First of all, the material steel with its material properties and historical implications will be examined. Steel as a material steeped in history, linked like no other with hard work, strength and masculinity. At the same time, the work on steel and the sweat of the steelworkers is attributed a certain sensuality that provides material for queer imaginations. The research focuses on the links and dependencies between material, labor, body, class, and gender.
