Jours Blancs

Saskia Hölbling studied at the Conservatory in Vienna, the city of her birth, and at P.A.R.T.S. in Brussels. She has danced with Bob Wilson and in Willy Dorner’s company. In 1995 she set up the Dans.Kias company. Other Feature was awarded the prize for best piece of the year in 2002. The theme of her work is the body. In Jours Blancs she tries to incorporate the body into a context – a country, a city, a house – that suppresses it. In this piece, the female body is neither character, image nor personality, but is both question mark and hyphen between lust, pain and rage.
