Unsichtbarst - annahuber.compagnie.
The solo dance piece “unsichtbarst” (the most invisible) is a study of the behaviour of the performer and the spectator. To see and to be seen. Who is observing whom? Performing on a mirrored floor and continuously observed from all angles, the dancing body evolves into a living sculpture that transforms itself, questions itself repeatedly. How much of ourselves do we reveal? Confronted with different expectations, we construct facades, play roles, and hide behind masks only to take them off again. We apparently need this protection, whilst at the same time we want to take off the masks and break through the facades. What remains behind the image that we pretend to maintain for others and for ourselves?
