concept&dance: Andrea Nagl, sound: Karlheinz Essl, costume: Sarah Sternat, geological support: Reinhard Roetzel

​

Between deep time and tectonic movement, between stone and memory, Andrea Nagl explores forms of embodiment: What happens when the body turns to sediment, when thought slows down, when time becomes matter?

Drawing on the medieval tale of Kidhy, geological field practices, and the realization that even solid rock is only a transitional state, her performance opens toward a “sense of stone” (Novalis) — a more-than-human attunement that rethinks the world beyond human-centered categories.
