Christine Gaigg: Meet

“I take the topic I raised in Maybe the way you made love twenty years ago is the answer? further in Meet: more condensed, more open and as a sensory experience. In line with Peter Kubelka’s observation that socially outmoded concepts emigrate to a sphere of their own – to haute cuisine when people didn’t have the time to cook anymore; to sports when they no longer had to do physical work – I provide a sanctuary in the theatre space to erotic encounters, which are being increasingly banished from everyday interaction. In an intimate setting with only a few visitors each I put forward erotic, magical or sexual moments. Meet zooms in to intimate conditions, to where emotion and imposition, demands and insistence, embarrassment and self-possession establish erotic fluidity.” Christine Gaigg
