ANATOMALIA is an immersive show where audience follows a moving chorus through different worlds to encounter unexpected performances and choreographies.



Through new architype, performance ritual, ensemble dancing and procession, ANATOMALIA is a  collective healing of the damage done to femalia and a celebration of queer joy. Seeking to change inner landscape and outer world, a group of dancers transform shame, fear, repulsion and rage to desire, curiosity and trust to (re)claim joy.


The performance moves between the interior and exterior at Uferstudios.
