In the organizer's words:

Performance by Agata Siniarska about alliances between human and non-human bodies

Disasters can happen. But wars are man-made. Nevertheless, they influence the fate of the planet as a whole. Agata Siniarska approaches this topic from an unusual perspective. In her solo work, which she conceived after extensive research, she incorporates entire landscapes, the reality of animals, plants and inanimate matter. She wants to listen to their neglected voices. At the heart of "null&void" is therefore the question of how this is possible: How can human bodies develop transhuman understanding? How can organs be used and further developed in order to see more, feel more intensely, think differently?

Agata Siniarska works in the field of extended choreography. She places her practice between how we think about the world and how we move in it. It is a place where body awareness meets social engagement - between somatic and ecological landscapes, between human and non-human bodies. Agata's current research deals with the idea of an Anthropocene museum, with multi-species archives in times of war and extinction, and with different human and non-human alliances.
Agata was born in Poland and lives in Berlin. Her work has been shown in various contexts across Europe, including Gessnerallee Zurich, Kultursymposium Weimar, Tanznacht Berlin, Impulse Festival Mülheim, Biennale Lyon, Kaaitheater Brussels and Festival Tanz Im August. Her most recent choreographic works include DOWN TO THE BONE, performance-concert, null&void, MUSEUM OF THE ANTHROPOCENE. Diorama No1 - Ghosts and Monsters and SECOND NATURE. Besides performance and choreography, Agata has recently started her journey through the underground music scene and plays as TATARI together with the noise-punk band rat milk.
