Ann-Christin Berg Kongsness, Ingrid Berger Myhre: LATEST NOTES
In this performance we look at the gaps and proximities, between what is said and what is done. Shuffling around on four basic parameters – what we know, what we don’t know, what we see and what we don’t see – we’re interested in how the context influences our perception of what is at stake.

Photo: Petra Veber
Ideal is a dance performance for two performers, a bunch of patriarchal semi-celebrities, and a bed. Leja Jurišić and Teja Reba, whose craft treads the intersection of dance, performance, and (post-dramatic) theatre and who have to date been hosted at, inter alia, Online Art+ in New York, Tanzquartier in Vienna, and ]performance space[ in London, seize upon Goebbels’ trichotomy between the private, the public-private, and the fully public life of the individual, which they then superimpose upon Marx’s remark that a lot of work gets done in bed.
