Theatres of Hysteria - Birmingham

A collaboration between Klaudia Wittmann and Chloe Knibbs

Taking inspiration from French visual artist Louise Bourgeois, this project is concerned with reinventing the hysterical body in its multiple dimensions: sexuality, materiality, as well as inscriptions of social violence. Theatres of hysteria is a collaboration between new music and dance theatre bringing together two dance artists, a singer and a double bassist. It experiments with the interplay of sound, image and physicality.

This research is generously supported by the RPS Drummond Lockyer Fund for Dance.​
