Teresa Vittucci

Teresa Vittucci is presenting her trilogy In Praise of Vulnerability for the last time. All three pieces in the trilogy will be performed at Tanzhaus Zurich in the same week. This is a unique opportunity to experience Vittucci's work as a concentrated package (once again).

Satan is taboo. The fallen angel is the symbol of evil par excellence. The supposedly ominous figure is still used today to enforce moral concepts. What is framed as evil and what is framed as good, however, cannot be determined so clearly. It is worth taking a closer look at evil and at those who define it as such.

In SANE SATAN, the third and final part of the In Praise of Vulnerability trilogy, Vittucci uses humour to examine the stories and images that warn us so vehemently about the devil. Like Maria in HATE ME, TENDER, who debunks the myth of the "hymen" as a warrior of vulnerability, and Eva in DOOM, who is able to free herself from an imposed value system thanks to curiosity, Teresa and her team in SANE SATAN search for a new, queer-feminist reading of this dazzling figure in our cultural history. Seductive, monstrous, and trapped in the prevailing structures: Satan has the potential to be an accomplice for all those who are devalued, excluded, and oppressed because of their otherness. This defiant power of the figure of Satan, who comes to light in their role as outsider, critic and, last but not least, as a gender ambiguous figure, paves the way for new perspectives on common moral concepts.

In addition to SANE SATAN we are showing HATE ME, TENDER and DOOM.
