The poetry of the invisible
Katharina Vogel (* 1962), works in classical ballet and contemporary dance. Since 1995 she created 14 dance performances that combine influences of Butoh dance and performance art. Her work questions traditional aesthetic models. It is expressed by minimal gestures, transparency and metamorphosis. At the Body and Freedom Festival, Katharina Vogel presents a study of the space and the poetry of the invisible and intangible.
“Today everything that can be shown and performed in galleries or theaters may also be shown and performed in urban spaces—only the naked body seems to remain a taboo,” The festival’s initiator, Thomas Zollinger
The Body and Freedom Festival will take place for the first time, from August 21-22, in the sleepy Swiss town of Biel.
