Michael Turinsky

lives and works as a choreographer, performer and theorist in Vienna. On the one hand, his interests include the comprehensive study of the specific phenomenology of the so-labelled ‘disabled’ body, its specific state of being in the world, its relation to timeliness and rhythm, affect and affect production, gender and sexuality, visibility and invisibility; and on the other hand, he dedicates his time to a rigorous research into discourses surrounding a productive tension between politics and aesthetics. His latest solo Precarious Moves was awarded the Nestroy Prize in 2022.

SOILED

There lies the human being. Dirty. Stranded on the ground. Rays of sunlight tickle the stomach. There is a longing for the origin, which is somewhere beneath the concrete of civilisation, perhaps in the slippery water.

In SOILED, choreographer and performer Michael Turinsky counters our sterile, endlessly productive, clearly delimited, always upright and linearly advancing body with another body that asserts itself in a deeply human way. A porous, unclean and unproductive body in playful proximity to the ground. This very body is asserted as a profoundly human one – a body that savours its own organicity with pleasure, a body that dives into the dark pool of early memories and, precisely from there, the unifying milieu of a burgeoning new community.
