In the solo format “walk + talk”, Bitterli asks the questions how it could be possible to articulate or describe commands, emotions and images that suddenly occur while dancing? What wonderful fantasies cause the body to move? What kind of thought and knowledge is created by movement – or is indeed only possible through movement? How exciting is it to stride across a stage? Can the energy of dance be expressed in words? This lecture performance, in which Milli Bitterli explores the transformation of movement, emotion and thoughts into language, was created during “STILL MOVING”, a project curated by Philipp Gehmacher.

Combining the personal and the artistic is an essential characteristic of Milli Bitterli’s work. The well-established Viennese choreographer excelled with pieces like “Was bleibt von mir?” (What is to remain of me?), “Die Verschleuderung des Ich” (Selling off of the self) and “my hobby is my destiny”, in which she focussed on the interrelations between a dancer’s biography and dancing as well as movement and emotion.
