caro bodensteiner

Research-based theatre and multi-media arts.

In their work caro looks at social and political conditions under which we live, work, practice, act and become to be “someone”. They are interested in how things are being normalized as part of *Western civilization history* or *global capitalism* or *German democratic history*, looking at how forms of violence materialize and are represented in architectures and aesthetics of the city as well as in institutions and structures of the nation state through which they forms our bodies and minds.

In their research-based work, processes of scrutinization, experimenting, reflecting and embodying happen simultaneously and find into multimedia-based spacial arrangements involving both, bodies of performers and audience. They have realized theatre plays/performances as well as site-specific installations including sound, video and text.

Currently researching on family as an institution and a practice, caro looks at their own family background and heritage scrutinizing how silences within politics of remembrance foundational to the German national state cohere with the ones within their own family constellation.
