Antonia Baehr
Born in 1970, Antonia Baehr is a choreographer interested in the rules and laws that a society (and more narrowly, the space of the theater) assigns to bodies, in order to make them understandable and recognizable. Also a performer, filmmaker and visual artist, the choreographer delves into the fiction of everyday life and theater at the very edge of what defines human beings. In her work, she often collaborates with partners Neo Hülcker, Andrea Neumann, Latifa Laâbissi, William Wheeler and Valérie Castan. The forms they deploy emphasize role changes: from project to project, each artist becomes the host or guest. In 2019, she will appear as Werner Hirsch in Pauline Boudry and Renate Lorenz's latest video Moving Backwards, presented at the 58th Venice Biennale. Her latest collaboration with Lucile Desamory, Die Besondere Perücke, premieres in Leipzig in 2020.

Latifa Laâbissi, Antonia Baehr Cavaliers impurs In a visual installation by Nadia Lauro
Following on from Consul and Meshie, Latifa Laâbissi and Antonia Baehr bring us a duo in the form of a series of heterogeneous sequences, interlinked by a common thread of the impure, hybridization and collage. They combine their respective vocabularies, such as the relationship with the expressiveness of the face, and the crossing of genres, registers. Over the course of different numbers or acts, Laâbissi and Baehr interweave their respective universes, thereby overturning the various choreographic codes and blurring the frontiers.
