Anna Anderegg (CH/DE)

In “Alone Together”, four women invite the public to reflect on digital connectivity, online empathy, attention, isolation and absence in a multi-layered narrative.

While the eyes of the performers linger through the digital windows on the happenings of the world, the viewers watch their disconnected bodies as they stare at their screens and gradually transform into hybrid living sculptures serving and glorifying the technological devices.

“Alone Together” investigates the distraction with technology, consumerism and celebrity culture through a body of work that consists of a performance and a film. The performance takes place in an abstract space and a complex five-hour looped time structure. The performed actions are building a network space through which the audience can wander freely.

Anna Anderegg studied dance in Bern, Montpellier and Berlin. Her work is based on the dialogue between the human body and its environment. In 2021 Anna Anderegg was commissioned to design the Swiss Pavilion at the Gwangju Biennale in South Korea, for which she produced the performance “Alone Together” and the short film of the same name. In the same year, she presented “Tape Riot” a dance performance in public space during the international figuren.theater.sommer.

“Alone Together” is set up as a five-hour loop, each run lasts about an hour and repeats in variations. The performance and film are presented at the Clubbühne and the cinema of Kulturzentrum E-Werk.
Access is possible at any time and the duration of the stay is flexible.
