Art, body, illness, health and healing are central parameters of our existence. Based on this, we want to look at our body as an individual and a social one. We want to examine it from very different perspectives and at the same time in a wide variety of situations: What happens to people, their bodies and minds in absolute desperation and need? What healing options are there? How can we maintain a healthy body?

„On the one hand, we want to explore how we can restore the body. On the other hand it is about retelling the body and inventing new stories.“
– Linda Samaraweerová

The Viennese choreographer Linda Samaraweerová curates an eight-day program of performances, workshops, lectures and a laboratory. Questions arise about the body in the context of spirituality, ethics, art and healing. The national and international contributions approach the idea of ​​retelling and restoring the body.

The fascination of these days lies in the intensive encounters between artists, musicians, philosophers, managers, doctors and scientists. Visitors are invited to experience new approaches to the body and spiritual knowledge in a touching atmosphere.

You can experience artistic works by choreographers Ondine Cloez from France, Kotomi Nishiwaki from Japan/Spain, Venuri Perera from Sri Lanka, Zwoisy Mears-Clarke from Jamaica, the Indian filmmaker Ujjwal Kanishka Utkarsh, the Russian writer and director Ivan Strelkin and a concert by the Czech band Mantrovníci, embedded in lectures and talks by Arno Böhler (AT), Sven Hartberger (AT), Dr. Ajit Kulkarni (India), Valentina Desideri (IT), Johanna Zachhuber (AT), workshops by Larisa Francírková (CZ), Laurence Morlon (FR), Johanna Zachhuber (AT) and discussions – small snacks included.

Part of the salon is also a 5 day laboratory held by seven international performance and visual artists: Guadalupe Aldrete (MX/ AT), Anne Juren (FR/AT), Ondine Cloez (FR/BE), Oscar Cueto (MX/ AT), Kevin Fay (US/ BE), Kotomi Nishiwaki (JP/ ES), Linda Samaraweerová (CZ/AT).
