Since the 1970s, dance has been providing impulses for artists seeking future-oriented means of expression. Dance therefore crossed the borders between genres and categories and deeply influenced the avant-garde theatre. The media installation project Transforming Acts shows the processes of inspiration and transformation in the last three decades of the 20th century in impressive pieces by exemplary protagonists: Pina Bausch, Laurent Chetouane, Jo Fabian, Jan Fabre, Johann Kresnik, Thomas
Lehmen, Heiner Müller, Einar Schleef, Meg Stuart, Robert Wilson, The Wooster Group, VA Wölfl / Neuer Tanz (in alphabetical order). Archival material of the selected projects and interview material are presented in modules within a spatial composition of projection screens; at the same time, they enter into a dialogue and are concentrated according to themes. The installation is in a kaleidoscope-like, dynamic "live mode”, operating as "a self-generating” loop without a defined beginning or
end. Visitors may enter to view it at any time.
The videokaleidoscope installation can be seen during the festival every day from 17.00-22.00.
