KLIMA BIENNALE WIEN “Unspeakable Worlds”
presents
CRISIS OF SENITIVITY: “Cosmic Dance”
a performative intervention by Linda Samaraweerowa and Johanna Zachhuber
Thursday, 16 April 2026, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.
Within the performative landscape of eindorf, visitors are invited to travel inward, guided by Linda Samaraweerowa and accompanied by the voice of Johanna Zachhuber. Subtle movements and sonic textures open a space of heightened attention, where perception slows and inner rhythms surface. In the context of Crisis of Sensitivity, the body becomes a resonant field — listening, sensing, and rediscovering fragile connections between self and surrounding.

In der performativen Landschaft von eindorf sind die Besucher dazu eingeladen, sich auf eine Reise nach innen zu begeben. Sie werden dabei von Linda Samaraweerowa geleitet und von der Stimme von Johanna Zachhuber begleitet. Durch subtile Bewegungen und Klangtexturen wird ein Raum erhöhter Aufmerksamkeit eröffnet, in dem die Wahrnehmung verlangsamt wird und innere Rhythmen an die Oberfläche treten. Der Körper wird zu einem Resonanzfeld: Es hört zu, spürt und entdeckt die fragilen Verbindungen zwischen sich selbst und seiner Umgebung wieder.

BIOs
Johanna Zachhuber
Mag. Johanna Maria Zachhuber, MMA is a singer, music therapist and singing teacher. She studied at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna and at the Music and Art Private University Vienna. In addition to her work as a concert and opera singer (Salzburg Festival, Bayreuth Festival, Volkstheater Vienna, Neue Oper Vienna, Kammeroper Vienna, Konzerthaus Vienna, Palace of Arts, Budapest), she teaches singing and has been a project assistant at the University of Music and Performing Arts since 2020 Art Vienna at the Vienna Center for Music Therapy Research and at the Vienna General Hospital. Among other things, she is dedicated to researching music therapeutic vocal interventions on scleroderma and cystic fibrosis patients. The concept of vocal intervention combines music therapy and singing pedagogical approaches with the aim of being able to individually address both psychological and physical aspects of the illness. Significant improvements were demonstrated both in catamnestic interviews with the patients and in numerous functional tests.
Linda Samaraweerowa
Linda Samaraweerová is a choreographer, performer and dancer who develops choreographic works across sculpture, installation, performance, dance, theatre, video and film. Her projects are presented in theatres, museums and galleries and have been shown regularly at Tanzquartier Wien since 2009. Other venues include steirischer herbst, brut Wien, ImPulsTanz, Donaufestival, LENTOS Museum Linz, Neue Galerie Graz and KM – Künstlerhaus, Halle für Kunst und Medien. Internationally, her works have been presented in France, the Czech Republic, Romania, Italy, Sri Lanka, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Germany and Switzerland.
After more than 30 years of international artistic practice, her work has gradually shifted away from the idea of production and presentation, by being strongly attracted to an inner spiritual journey that guides her towards a deep hidden knowledge that was transferred from generation to generation within small and rather silent circles of humble human beings in different parts of this world.
