Choreographic theater based on Christine Lavant by Zdravko Haderlap
A guest performance by the Center for Choreography Bleiburg / Pliberk
For a long time, Christine Lavant was confined to an image that depicted her as a poor, sick knitter struggling with God. Only posthumously did she gain a wide readership, and she is now unanimously considered one of the most significant German-speaking authors of the 20th century. Lavant's strength lies in her unflinching gaze at human conditions and her compassionate observation of those for whom life is less benevolent. She is the poet of poverty and often unfulfilled love.
The theater production aims to approach an extraordinary poet and woman through the means of choreographic theater in an artistic way. In doing so, the image from the past will be deconstructed to allow for a deeper appreciation and reception of her work.
Christine Lavant's uncompromising view of human relationships is an inspiration for the exploration and interpretation of her rich literary oeuvre and her enigmatic personality. The goal of Zdravko Haderlap's choreographic theater was to overcome stereotypes about her and to illuminate her extraordinary nature, her boundlessness, her excessiveness.
