haunted landscape/s
a series of performances by claudia bosse

landscapes inhabited by ghosts
landscapes that harbour the dead
landscapes that harbour signs of nuclear devastation
collapsed tunnels or wounded landscapes
let them be
let them be like that
let them absorb life
tell of them in their substrate and their proliferations

our planet is a living organism and is covered with wounded landscapes, landscapes that bear visible signs of their attacks, wars, climatic changes, degradation of materials, or attacks on the energies that we humans think we need to survive. humans dig and change the movements of the earth, dig into its layers; thus wounded landscapes are created. in some, spirits dwell, breathing into the landscape or into time and leaving their traces. some landscapes change or are destroyed by the earth's interior or the movement of the earth's plates, while gases and liquid substances rise to the surface and create tsunamis, others are excavated, undermined and their raw materials are extracted and transported elsewhere. the resulting material is redistributed above ground, arranged, new landscapes are created, while others are covered over. at the same time, more gases are formed in the underground holes.

at the centre of haunted landscape/s are volcanoes, open-cast mines, mines as endangered landscapes and their myths, stories or experiences.
it is about our planet, how we understand it and live with it.
it is about huge transformations of environments and their global impact.
it is about wounded or poisoned landscapes and their healing.
it is about traces of ghosts and monsters that inhabit these landscapes and their influence on the surrounding communities of human and non-human actors.

haunted landscape/s wants to encounter these landscapes, experience them, understand the material, changes, connections, histories and myths of different terrains and translate them into choreographic performative work or installative formats. encounters with and narratives of places become choreographies, lecture performances or installations. movements become performative condensations in dialogue with relics or witnesses and ghosts of the landscapes visited. voices of human and non-human inhabitants become scenic events, perhaps even choirs.

PROJECTS of haunted landscape/s:
haunted landscape/s is a multi-format series by claudia bosse (2024/2025) in collaboration with various artists with/about/through wounded landscapes.

HAUNTED LANDSCAPES or the breathing out of earth occupies the stage of tanzquartier wien at the end of october 2024 as a walk-in, performative environment with 5 performers and the sounds of günther auer. In HAUNTED LANDSCAPE on an unseen wasteland, a central residual area becomes an urban laboratory and venue for a series of visual, musical and performative interventions by claudia bosse with public performance school PPS and invited artists. in the field research project haunted landscape/s - about inner and outer landscapes as part of impulstanz, claudia bosse and the participating dancers explored relationships to landscapes, organisms and movements on unstable ground. claudia bosse's installation entanglement with a haunted forest interwoven with the forest opened mahler forum 2024 in june 2024 with a musical commentary by günther auer. between the built, the grown, the present and the past, the installation in the forest is freely accessible until the end of october. haunted landscape/s was developed as a site-specific performance with 3 dancers and 2 movement choirs in may 2024 for a derelict building site and ultimately ended in a multimedia installation. in october 2023, claudia bosse developed LANDSCAPE/S as part of the project celebrating trouble. choreographic convention in timișoara (romania) - a lecture performance as an installative spread that became a performative landscape.

the haunted landscape/s series was created as part of the 2022-2025 concept funding programme by stadt wien kultur, the federal ministry of arts and culture, public service and sport, with the support of the district of donaustadt, mahler forum 2024, KÖR Kunst im öffentlichen Raum Wien and in cooperation with belvedere 21, impulstanz, jugend am werk, wien 3420 and ÖBB.

the cycle ORGAN/ismus - poetics of relations combines modules, motives and methods for the realization of different artistic formats and at the same time wants to build or expand structures. because we can only realize those works for which we are able to find or invent structures.
