Since 2011, Florentina Holzinger has been enriching the international scene with breathtaking acrobatic performances, muscular female bodies and trashy parodies. With an all-female cast, TANZ raises the question of the brutality of our choreographic heritage.

Feminism, of course, has always been an exercise in science fiction. (Laurie Penny)

Since 2011, Florentina Holzinger has been enriching the international scene with breathtaking acrobatic performances, muscular female bodies and fight scenes – as well as a generous dose of pop-cultural references and a penchant for parody and trashiness. A class in « ballet d’action », under the direction of Beatrice Cordua, the first ballerina to dance The Rite of Spring naked, provides the framework for TANZ. Through an all-female cast – aged twenty to eighty and from different dance backgrounds – Florentina Holzinger raises the question of the brutality of the choreographic heritage and its cult of beauty.
