"MANIFESTATIONS" both questions the structure and conventions of the black box theatre and pays a performative homage to the endless fictional scenarios that can be activated through the imagination.

In the "Our Bodies" talk, Brigitte Theißl talks to artist and activist Ina Holub about beauty standards, multiply marginalised people in the culture sector, and queer feminist struggles.

The two performers bring together fragmented embodiments of Dons Quixotes, not forgetting the infamous sidekick Sancho Panza, sometimes friend, sometimes accomplice, sometimes horse. Identities slip. The narrative explodes.

"Von der Hand in den Mund (Hand to Mouth)" is a performative dinner, an edible installation, a sensuous discourse about taste and class. In a set-up inspired by the food and catering industries’ cosmos of commodities, Julischka Stengele creates a space of activity staging various dishes, the sampling of them, and a reflection on our sense of taste. Materialities, smells, aromas, colours and shapes combine with performative elements to create an aesthetic experience that involves all the senses.
