Bestiarium
(2024)
Feathers flutter, doors creak, dust is stirred up. In the kitchen, the teapot whistles away, upstairs in the attic secrets are waiting to be discovered and deep down in the cellar there is a rumbling. And somewhere in between, a chamber choir of untroubled houseflies buzzes.
Who lives here?

Feathers flutter, doors creak, dust is stirred up. In the kitchen, the teapot whistles away, upstairs in the attic secrets are waiting to be discovered and deep down in the cellar there is a rumbling. And somewhere in between, a chamber choir of untroubled houseflies buzzes.
Who lives here?
“Bestiarium” examines the house as an organism, as a living being, as a place of neighborhood. From figures, found objects, and the body parts of performer Annina Mosimann, a “bestiary” awakens from an old wooden transport box: limbs, heads, and bodies emerge and transform into new, curious creatures. They buzz, squeak, creak, and sing us stories about living together in a very small space.
A surprising, funny, and poetic piece in a box, with a tea party, a loop station and synthesizer.
A tribute to the house and to those who inhabit it.
