Crisis of Sensitivity

As part of the Klima Biennale 2026, eindorf transforms into a resonant space for the body, memory and the environment. Here, a site-specific, multidisciplinary intervention emerges, weaving together choreographic, performative, installation, photographic and cinematic practices into a unified whole.  The starting point is the theme 'Crisis of Sensitivity': an exploration of the deep intertwining of ecological and human crises, and of our capacity to respond to the sensitivities of others — and of ourselves.

The participating artists contribute different perspectives and media that merge into a shared artistic landscape. Through installation and performance Guadalupe Aldrete explores somatic and archaic bodily memories, opening up access to embodied knowledge. In the film adaptation of the contemporary opera DURST, composed by Robert Jíša and directed by Linda Samaraweerová, the public is invited to a musical journey through 6 states of consciousness induced by specific frequencies and based on the Tibetan Bön teachings on lucid sleep. Together with the opera singer Johanna Zachhuber, Linda Samaraweerová creates a live intervention that invites the audience to embark on a spiritual inner journey. Masoumeh Jalalieh moves choreographically between boundaries and transitions in the constant transformation of body and reality. Daniel Zimmermann's works emerge at the intersection of visual art, film, and performance to question the meaning and sustainability of human behaviour. Tahereh Nourani uses soundscapes and voice to create auditory dimensions that allow us to experience the fragility of perception and enable new forms of listening.

This program creates a dialogue between different artistic practices that emerge as facets of a whole. Thus eindorf becomes a performative landscape, inviting visitors to experience transformations through their senses and bodies.
