“Democratic Exercises – Body at Risk” is a series of artistic performances and installations that stage combat exercises between “dominant” and “dominated”. A game on verbal and physical violence where the frontiers between the victims and the aggressors are blur.

From Linz to Vienna, then to Geneva and later in Athens, the project grows with the slogan “Be a Warrior. Expand” open to personal and collective projections and identifications.

Who is fighting? What war are we talking about?

The truth is not to be discovered but to be re-invented.

This first stage of the project was developed in Linz, Austria, in collaboration to Christine Eder, theater director. The installation took its form in collaboration to Jakob Dietrich and the performance came alive with the qualities of Jaskaran Anand, Thomas Butteweg, Thomas Frank, Isabella Knöll, Christoph Rothenbuchner and Pascal Thimotee.
