Trau di ! a feminist projection guerrilla tour across Lake Traunsee

Photo gallery : Trau di !

Trau di ! is an evening boat trip across Lake Traunsee. On board are performers, audience and the projection guerrillas, who bounce their feminist text interventions off the rock faces of the Traunstein. The texts glide over the rough waters of the lake, they emerge, sink and disappear again, they disturb and construct the surrounding landscape, which they break through, dynamize and fragment. This interplay creates interferences between landscape and projection, highlights, fleeting moving light poems of self-determination, resistance and vision.
