Magical at Black Box Teater

Choreographer Anne Juren and director Annie Dorsen collaborate on "Magical", which uses the canon of feminist performance art and the rituals of a magic show to play with illusion, trickery and transformation.
Juren and Dorsen work with five iconic and influential performances from the period 1965-1975: Martha Rosler’s "Semiotics of the Kitchen", "Cut Piece" by Yoko Ono, Marina Abromovic’s "Freeing the Body", and "Interior Scroll" and "Meat Joy" by Carolee Schneemann. Putting historical feminist practices into the context of a magic show is a radical détournement, which raises questions about the position of the contemporary female artist.
