Winner Audience Award 2024

i love all pits of everything, 2024
With Alma Apt, neneh noï, Lean Rüegg, Alice Speller, and Odesa Varela

i love all pits of everything is a performative reading of autofictional texts by Lean Rüegg. The poems, songs, and stories offer intimate insights into daily dealings with love, the body, and gender roles. Topics such as abortion, transgender identity, and gentrification are discussed, weaving together individual and social perspectives. The five performers collectively wear a dress that doubles as the stage set in which they explore their bodily presence and attempt to strike a balance between restriction and comfort. Over the course of the rhythmic narration, personal stories fuse with collective memories as the performers are caught up in the fabric of text and costume, ultimately becoming a collective body.
