null&void - Performance von Agata Siniarska über Allianzen menschlicher und nicht-menschlicher Körper
Disasters can happen. Wars, however, are made by humans. Nevertheless, they influence the fate of the planet as a whole. Agata Siniarska approaches this topic from an unusual perspective. In her solo work, which she has conceived after extensive research, she includes entire landscapes, the reality of animals, plants, and inanimate matter. She wants to listen to their neglected voices. Therefore, the question at the center of “null&void” is how this is possible: How can human bodies develop transhuman understanding? How can organs be used and further developed to see more, feel more intensely, and think differently?
Agata Siniarska works in the field of expanded choreography. She places her practice between how we think about the world and how we move in it. It is a place where body awareness meets social engagement – between somatic and ecological landscapes, between human and non-human bodies. Agata's current research deals with the idea of an Anthropocene Museum, with multi-species archives in times of war and extinction, as well as various human and non-human alliances. Agata was born in Poland and lives in Berlin. Her works have been shown in various contexts all over Europe, including Gessnerallee Zurich, Kultursymposium Weimar, Tanznacht Berlin, Impulse Festival Mülheim, Biennale Lyon, Kaaitheater Brussels, and Festival Tanz Im August. Her recent choreographic works include DOWN TO THE BONE, performance-concert, null&void, MUSEUM OF THE ANTHROPOCENE. Diorama No1 – Ghosts and Monsters, and SECOND NATURE. In addition to performance and choreography, Agata has recently embarked on her journey through the underground music scene and performs as TATARI alongside the noise punk band rat milk.
