In the summer of 1927, Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven – dadaist poet, nude model, and proto-punk – writes a letter to the patron Peggy Guggenheim. In prophetic euphoria and apocalyptic urgency, she outlines her latest project: a studio for experimental modelling in Paris, which she hopes will mark her artistic comeback and provide an escape route out of her existential misery. Peggy Guggenheim expresses interest, but does not pay. Shortly afterward, Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven takes her own life. Now, almost a century later, ,Bruch‘- is taking up this forgotten episode in the history of performance art and re-stages it as a space of resonance for contemporary dilemmas of artistic labour and self-fashionings. Together with dancer Frances Chiaverini, composer Stanislav Iordanov and author Théo Casciani amongst others, and drawing on the artist’s late autofictional texts, they model multi-layered choreographic worlds and explore the act of calling oneself an ‘artist’ in an economically, politically and spiritually precarious present.

28. & 29. November, 8 pm

More information will follow soon.
