Magdalena Reiter: Counterfeits, Imprints and Other Intrusions

In her new work, Counterfeits, Imprints and Other Intrusions, Magdalena Reiter returns to the solo form revisiting and questioning some of the topics she has dealt with as an author in recent years – from the attempt to analyse collective memory in the context of the influences of visual and film iconography to the reference field in which she has formed herself as a dance maker. She emphasizes the power, as well as the violence of visual imagery and the instability of influences that mark both our collective consciousness and her personal creative path. Through the body in motion, she opens up a dual relationship and a dialogue with the field of references, which involves both respecting and dissecting the elements down to their most elementary particles.

The performance is being created as a choreographic hyperreality that is both playful and analytical, literal and metaphorical, raising perhaps the most relevant question of Reiter’s new performance – the performative body at the moment of going on stage and the extent to which it is possible to escape the limits of one’s own reproduction.
