SUMMARY:Sancta by Hindemith
DESCRIPTION:Opera performance by Florentina Holzinger with Paul Hindemith’s opera Sancta Susanna\, sacred works and new compositions in German\, Latin and English. \n“So help me\, my Savior against yours” – despite her environment that is hostile to pleasure and the body\, a young nun in Paul Hindemith’s one-act opera Sancta Susanna discovers her body as a means of experiencing herself and God. Hindemith’s open display of female desire on the opera stage had the potential to cause scandal. In advance of concern\, the Stuttgart State Theaters withdrew the planned premiere in 1922. A good hundred years later\, Sancta Susanna is now coming to the stage in Stuttgart for the first time – in an opera performance by Florentina Holzinger\, who brings bodies into spectacular borderline experiences in her works. Holzinger follows Susanna’s act of self-assertion with her vision of a holy mass: Bach\, Rachmaninoff\, metal\, noise and contemporary compositions come together in a musical tour de force in which church rites and mysteries are appropriated\, but also their connection to sacrifice and Violence is processed. SANCTA counters the religious discipline and punishment of sexuality as a path to spiritual ecstasy with a pleasurable alternative. In search of transcendence\, body modification artists* twist the religious themes of crucifixion wounds\, penetration\, cannibalism and transformation; Show magicians* show their interpretations of biblical miracles; the Sistine Chapel becomes a climbing wall\, the opera becomes a rock musical\, God becomes a robot\, Jesus Christ becomes a Jesus Christ superstar. The Holy Mass becomes a spectacle. Magic and miracles\, says Holzinger\, must become a real possibility. Spider-like and dark\, loud and excessive\, funny and cathartic\, SANCTA challenges religious conventions while simultaneously renewing them.

SUMMARY:Études
DESCRIPTION:SEAWORLD VENICE will unfold beyond the Giardini della Biennale across the city through performances titled Études – a body of work she has developed since 2020\, consisting of choreographic exercises and performative actions staged in public spaces. \nAccording to Frederic Chopin\, ‘an Étude is a musical composition of considerable difficulty\, designed to provide practice material for an instrument and its player’. Yet\, they are designed to ‘always please the audience in concert’. Holzinger’s site-specific performances become compositions between bodies\, sound and architecture. \nThe Opening Étude will take place on 6 May\, 2026 \nThe attendance is free. Due to limited capacity\, advance registration is requested. Registration for the Opening Étude starts on 27 April\, 2026 via https://www.seaworldvenice.at/.

SUMMARY:A Year Without Summer
DESCRIPTION:1816: It’s the year that goes down in history as A Year Without Summer\, and Mary Shelley is to create Frankenstein\, a genius forcing nature to bend to his will\, ending up in destruction with his monster assembled from corpses‘ parts. A Year Without Summer is an apocalyptic vision of artificial life: In an attempt to conquer nature\, the body becomes the testing ground\, subjected to ever more radical climatic conditions. \nA Year Without Summer is about improving nature to the point of perversion\, and about playing off the promise of eternal life against the certainty of death. \nDirecting\, Choreography & Performance: Florentina Holzinger\nStage Design: Nikola Knežević\nLighting: Kevin Sock\nDramaturgy Volksbühne: Leonie Hahn\nA production by Florentina Holzinger/Spirit\, neon lobster\, Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz Berlin. In coproduction with Tanzquartier Vienna\, International Summer Festival Kampnagel\, Dansenhus Stockholm\, DESINGEL Antwerp\, Maska Ljubljana\, asphalt Festival Düsseldorf\, Rising Melbourne\, Factory International Manchester und Marvaða Iceland
