Warm invitation to the opening of the video installation »le grand stade de l'objet a« by Jean-Noël Lenhard

The connection between image, gaze and identity in the field of psychoanalysis has rarely been explored as constantly as by Jacques Lacan. Like an overall pattern in his theories, he repeatedly shows interactions between identification, veritable mirrors, symbolic mirrors and gazing objects as well as subjects.

The video installation »le grand stade de l'objet a« invites visitors to experience Lacan's theory of the gaze in a playful way: “So you want to see. Well then, see this!”

The installation is apropriate and accessible for all audiences.
free admission

Thanks to everyone who supported me!

What if we think of a performance as an anthology? A florilegium. 
What if we opened up our backpacks and looked at what we found there as one big collection? 
What if we went on an expedition and all we did was listen while we waited for something to happen? For something to appear. 
What if we told you a story but weren’t sure which one to tell? 

In the performance ‘on holes’ three performers and one musician, Amélie, Herbert, Merthe and Sara are temporarily getting lost in the mists of time, they let themselves sink deep down into a hole in the middle of the earth where they encounter different creatures, sounds and long forgotten parts of themselves. 

All the while they are remembering that darkness is nothing but a product of our own retina, created by our eyes turning to themselves. 

On the one hand ‘on holes’ contemplates about the notion of the hole as a possibility for fiction(s) to emerge and on the other hand it tries to find ways of how to position our human bodies within a story or rather in relation to what and who we meet down there in the hole.

“Operators” by Amina Szecsödy looks to pervert the roles of female telephone operators active throughout Europe and North America from the late 1800 to 1970’s. The work takes its cue from the mechanized, feminized voices of comfort, control  and direction that continue to play a massive role in choreographing the private and public today, from the dulcet tones of necro-capitalism to the weather forecast. These voices without bodies and the spit filled mouths that generate them. Who do these distant, garbled voices on the other end line belong to? Who maintains these split subjectivities? What is the significance of that wavery unstable hum that bears an alarming resemblance to heavy breathing? Szecsödy’s work functions as a subterranean switchboard, connecting women and their disembodied voices across time and space. “Operators” probes the human aspects of these disembodied voices, working backwards to propose mutant hosts.

A production by Amina Szecsödy, in co-production with Künstlerhaus Mousonturm and the Master program Choreography and Performance at  the Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen and the Hessischen Theaterakademie, with the kind support of Kulturamt Frankfurt am Main and Fonds Darstellende Künste.

Every beat a syllable, every syllable a beat. With this method, “piece for drumset and powerpoint“ writes an essay. Using a strangely silent version of karaoke, the text explores the limits of language and understanding – and what might come after. What starts as a text slowly turns into a concert. The stiffness of the powerpoint presentation stand in opposition to the seemingly loose improvisation of the drums. The audience is positioned between those two elements and has to decide which side tells a more credible story. Max Smirzitz constructs a performative arrangement that investigates the intersections of language, rhythm, timing and time.

In this performance, the coming together of people is simulated as an emergency. So we meet to examine our coming together itself.We take apart gestures and positions to reoccupy our memories of a resuscitation training. Between tension and relaxation, unconsciousness and expansion of consciousness, we sound out how we relate to each other and how we might relate to each other differently. A familiar situation becomes a measure with artistic means.
Can we train coming together as a new sport?


"Deepfake Situations" are misappropriations of everyday situations, with the goal of asking about the foundations of how we come together. In contrast to the illusions created by AI, "Deepfake Situations" are about the advancement of human abilities to construct new situations. The "Deepfakes" produced therefore use methods of readymade, intervention, and learning play, among others. "Deepfake Situations" was created at the Institute for Applied Theater Studies, showed various projects in Frankfurt (Main), Mannheim, Bochum, Berlin, Stockholm and Skopje, among others, and consists of Felix Falczyk and Johanna Herschel.

(re)enacting stag(ing) rehearsal is a performance that further examines the tension between rehearsed- staged-performed; a private act(the rehearsal) enacted into a public space. 
Following a video work STAGING REHEARSAL(2021), it continues investigating the rehearsal processes. The translation from life-into-video-into-life performance and the relationship between (un)staging of bodies and video cameras create an inception-like feedback loop between the camera gaze and the present bodies; re-enactment of the past through technology of the lens itself.

Hey there! This is the first post-pandemic Rough Proposals, for the first time happening in Theaterlabor Giessen. Partials here are already vibrant, although in critical bandwiths, finding/polishing and fine-tuning physical properties of complex and non-linear surfaces. 

Rough Proposals roughly frames raw artistic proposals by MA Choreography & Performance students - brusque installations, gruff performances, throaty talks, crude movement sessions and a raw walk into the forest that will linger around with you (hopefully) from 30.6. - 3.7.2022. Stay rough for more information on this channel!
