Dis.cover

Dis.cover, a show that asks the question of the construction of the female body and the stereotypes and archetypes that are attached to it.

The artist experiments with veiling and revealing herself: she hides and reveals body parts, movements and manipulations of objects. The audience discovers a multidimensional person, full of conflicts and paradoxes – a female body full of strange abilities, bizarre flaws and whimsical movements. Dis.cover is a juggling show that questions the public’s view and perception. A small, modest form, calm, political and a bit funny.

Ariane Oechsner

Ariane Oechsner was born in Munich and grew up in Austria. She first studied physics at the TU and then went on to study theater, film and media at the University of Vienna. In 2013, she finished the professional circus school DIE ETAGE e.V. in Berlin and then continued with a master’s degree in choreography at the universities Codarts in Rotterdam and Fontys in Tilburg (Joint-Degree COMMA – Co-Creation of Movement Master of Arts). She is currently taking the “Project Formalization” course at ESACTO Lido. She has worked as a janitor, cook, math teacher, technician, equestrian artist, singer, belly dancer and many other professions. Ariane has worked in different artistic contexts: at the Cirque Romanès, with Stefan Sing’s CriticalMess, in the Cie Jérôme Thomas, in the street, in cabarets etc. and has toured all over the world (Europe, Asia, Africa, South America). In recent years, she has been directing her own projects (notably: play nice with Roxana Küwen). Ariane works as a choreographer, director and performer – she works mainly on the aesthetic expression of object manipulation. She considers her artistic practice as a practice of intersectionality: today what is important to her is the junction of performance art and political activism.
