Performance "Current"

This site-specific performance “Current” by Mariateresa Molino, conceived for the Isar, rather than narrating its history directly, activates a bodily relationship with the river as a living presence, in the heart of the city. It does not represent the river, it inhabits it. Exploring the body as a space for perception, connection and transformation, minimal gestures and collective presence create conditions that shift how we experience time, landscape and shared space.

Performers enter the river, their bodies inclined by the current, moving in synchronized patterns of expansion and return, create a temporary body-landscape: a line of humans breathing together in the flow of the river. Gradually, members of the public will be invited to join, allowing the composition to grow and transform. In a city shaped by speed and productivity, the work introduces a different temporality: slow pace, attunement and collective attention. It invites a moment of presence, offering a poetic interruption in the urban landscape.

Location: Between Braunauer Eisenbahnbrücke and Brudermühlbrücke

The performance is part of the “Invisible City” framework program for the Focus Year, curated by Alexandra Pirici.
