Today’s guests are theatre director Olivia Axel Scheucher and actor Nick Romeo Reimann.
Their collaborative work FUGUE FOUR : RESPONSE was first developed for the Porn Film Festival Vienna. The satirical investigation of how sex and bodies are commodified in the digital age was then adapted for Volkstheater Dunkelkammer.
For the [8:tension] Series, Olivia, Nick and their collaborators (actress Thea Ehre and performer-choreographer Luca Bonamore) presented the piece in yet another setting – the proscenium stage of Schauspielhaus Vienna.
A month after the festival, Olivia and Nick sat down with writer Sean Pfeiffer. They discussed their residency time at the ImPulsTanz Festival, their foray into the world of contemporary dance and performance, as well as the question of genre in their work.
