Jesus Sweats Too
Performance TanzQuartier Wien,
Winter School, squirt spill seep swell stream and again
January 26
Presentation of some excerpts of Taurine for the first time in German. Its protagonist Christa, a sports coach and cultural guide in Salzburg, follows her routine. In the mornings in Monchsberg, she leads her group of tourists in training sessions. She wants to make them sweat, to detoxify them from their repeated excesses. In the evening in Kapuzinerberg, on the Way of the Cross, she goes out with her dog, and pushes him to transcend his physical limits. Between protein-packed appearances by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Empress Sissi on Red Bull, we listen to the beating of Christa’s heart synchronising with the epic or hardcore rhythms of her favourite hits.
