Antonia Baehr

Next to choreographic elements, Antonia Baehr is interested in rules and the laws which a society (and in particular the space in a theatre) assigns to bodies, to make them recognizable and comprehensible. She is a performer, a filmmaker and a visual artist, and as a choreographer she researches the fiction of everyday-life performance and the fiction of theatre, working at the edges of that which defines us as human beings—placing us via a voluptuous see-saw in critical positions. She is interested in the relations between humans and animals but also in elements in representational space. In her work she interacts with, among others, Neo Hülcker, Pauline Boudry and Renate Lorenz, Andrea Neumann, Latifa Laâbissi, and with others who are interested in the changing of roles: from project to project, each artist is alternately the host or the guest. Lately she has been developping collaborative duets. Baehr is also the producer for the horse whisperer and dancer Werner Hirsch, the musician and choreographer Henri Fleur, the ex-husband of Ida Wilde and composer/performer Henry Wilde.
