About the production

The Center for Choreography Bleiburg/Pliberk presents its latest project, a choreographic theatre production, which was chosen as the winning project of the 2nd call of the Carinthian Cultural Foundation. Under the artistic direction of Zdravko Haderlap, the project is dedicated to the poet Christine Lavant.

The stage of Kulturni Dom Pliberk/Bleiburg becomes the setting for actress Anne Bennent and dancers Nur Giménez Villaroya (ESP), Tura Gómez Coll (ESP), Filip Löbl (CZ), Martina Rösler (AUT), Kacper Szklarski (POL), Lia Ujčič (SLO) and Thales Weilinger (AUT). The music was written by the Carinthian musician Tonč Feinig, while the dramaturgy is being handled by Jana Pavlič from Ljubljana.

The production will be academically supervised by Klaus Amann, author of the book "Ich bin maßlos in allem" about Christine Lavant, which was published by Wallstein Verlag in 2023. The set is designed by Majda Krivograd from Carinthia, while the costumes are created by Katarina Zalar from Slovenia. Zdravko Haderlap receives choreographic support from Christina Comtesse and Martina Seidl.

For a long time, Lavant (1915-1973) was portrayed by the publisher Otto Müller in Salzburg as a poor, sick knitter struggling with God. Her unique prose work was neglected for a long time, and important stories such as 'Das Wechselbälgchen' was forgotten. It was not until the four-volume edition of her work published by Wallstein-Verlag (2014- 2018) that Lavant posthumously gained a wide readership, particularly through previously unpublished texts.

Critics not only praised Lavant's poetry, but also discovered completely new sides to the poet in her previously little-known prose. She is now unanimously regarded as one of the most important German-language authors of the 20th century. Lavant's strength lies in her incorruptible view of human circumstances and her loving observation of those to whom life is less well-disposed. She is the poet of poverty and often unfulfilled love.

Her own world is transformed in her literature through the technically free form of her writing, voices of thought and the fusion of external and internal perspectives, into an instrument of understanding and compassionate insight. Lavant, a self-taught woman, showed herself in letters to be an equal interlocutor of famous contemporaries such as Thomas Bernhard, Hilde Domin and Martin Buber.

The aim of the theater production is to approach an extraordinary poet and woman in an artistic way using the means of choreographic theater. The stereotypical image from the past is to be broken up in order to enable a deeper appreciation and reception of her work.

Carinthian Cultural Foundation

Since 2019, the board members of Austria's first general cultural foundation Monika Kircher, Ina Lerchbaumer and Adolf Rausch have been working with great commitment to support creative artists and make culture possible.

Various activities successfully make art and culture from Carinthia visible and tangible beyond the borders of the province. This commitment is only possible with the generous help of renowned partners who support the vision of positioning art and culture as a necessary part of society.

Every two years, the Carinthian Cultural Foundation hass an OPEN CALL endowed with €200,000 for the best and most innovative cultural projects. An external jury - chaired by Martin Traxl - selects outstanding cultural formats that are financed and supported by the foundation.

The Center for Choreography Bleiburg/Pliberk presents its latest project, a choreographic theatre production, which was chosen as the winning project of the 2nd call of the Carinthian Cultural Foundation. Under the artistic direction of Zdravko Haderlap, the project is dedicated to the poet Christine Lavant.
