lonely lonely
Abstract
After their absurdly humorous appearance at the 2013 imagetanz festival with their furniture assembly
act Never Name the Shelf, Sööt/Zeyringer once again invite the audience to discover their unique
and minimalist performance cosmos. In lonely lonely, they investigate the tension between desired
and undesired loneliness, the need for human warmth and the simultaneous need for privacy. Using dry
humour, subtle irony and cardboard boxes, the two performers create a rhythmic-choreographic dialogue
on being lonesome and being together, while in the midst of minimalist and accurate execution,
moments of surprise and poetry flare up.
The artist duo Tiina Sööt and Dorothea Zeyringer deals with performance at the intersection of visual
arts and dance. In their works, the two artists try to find beauty, poetry, wit and absurdity in
every-day objects, acts and language.
