Mette Ingvartsen
69 Positions
The July 1st performance was cancelled
Throughout her body of work, the Danish dancer and choreographer Mette Ingvartsen tackles sexuality, the interplay of the natural and the artificial, and the borders between public and private space. In 69 Positions, Ingvartsen leads sixty-five visitors through a space replete with performances, books, films, texts, and images brought alive through movement and speech in order to make them experience the connection between the intimate and the public sphere. This guided tour through an archive of sexual performances enables the artist to explore unresolved issues regarding contemporary sexual practices. By placing the nude human form in the midst of an audience and encouraging audience participation, Ingvartsen evokes the erotically and politically charged performances of the 1960s. This solo piece inaugurates a new cycle of work for the Danish artist, with its focus on sexuality and the relation between body politics and structures of society.
For mature audiences only
The audience is on stage with the performer and allowed to freely move around. Sometimes they can sit on the floor. Please note, that there are no chairs in the space. The performance is in English without subtitles.
