I I I

In  I I I  Chris Leuenberger, Jenny Beyer and Anja Müller create solo material for, with and next to each other. While questioning authorship and individuality, they construct a common universe of apparent opposites and subtle shifts of perception. All three are lead characters in supporting roles, an ensemble of loners, a corps de ballet of complementary colors. Soloists appear and dissolve again within the group. Personalities take shape and merrily hop along into the darkness of the woods.

Chris, Jenny und Anja got to know each other in Vienna as DanceWebbers in 2006, where as well Sweet&Tender Collaborations, an artist-driven initiative dealing with self-organization and alternative means of production, was founded. Since then they collaborated in different constellations. III has been their first work together.  

" III erweist sich als der eigentliche Knaller des Abends - gerade in der zurückgenommenen, doch bis in die Augenstellung oder kleinste Gesten stets präsenten Verkörperung durch das Tänzer-Trio." Klaus Witzeling, Kultiversum.de, 7.4. 2010)
