Duration: 45 min
"The pomegranate walk, I transformed into this explosive red fruit and went for a walk. First, I lifted my skirt, just in case. And I unfolded dimensions, spreading inner landscapes, bathing in holy waters. Did I leave? We left! ... savoring the steps of silence. »

artist, teacher, researcher
Marlène Jöbstl is a French / Austrian double culture polyglot, born in 1975, she lives in Barcelona.
Marlène represents an unconventional and responsible art, where beauty and poetry triumph, where dance is a vehicle for complex depths.
Marlène plays with paradox, humor and provocation, she questions the established using a poetic and political background and framework. Her work is honest, sensual, grotesque, naive, always revealing an art "on the edge", in the thread of the sword.
Her specialties are stage direction and choreography, creation and interpretation, pedagogical and artistic research, as well as "site specific performance". She embodies a 30-year experience in the performing arts.
