Through a series of performative acts, subjoyride invites viewers to engage in a corporeal dialogue with the poetic work of the German Dadaist Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven (1874–1927).
In their new stage production, Berlin-based choreographer and performer Boglárka Börcsök and filmmaker and artist Andreas Bolm continue their artistic exploration of the personal, emotional and historical, venturing into the grotesque and the marginal. Using voice, gesture, music and embodiment, the artistic duo delves into the Baroness’s complex personality and eccentric body of work, which spans poetry, performance, and sculpture – a scatological cosmos oscillating between the abject and the grotesque.
Playfully intertwining the Baroness’s visceral poetics with a forensic discourse, they speculate on the true authorship of the famous ready-made artwork Fountain – the inverted urinal attributed to Marcel Duchamp, yet increasingly associated with the Baroness.
subjoyride takes audiences on a performative journey, revealing the ways in which the hegemonic art canon and society perpetuates themselves – from canonization to canalization.
