UMARMUNG centers starting already from its creative process around the above mentioned. It places itself in a space where the boundaries between performers and audience gradually vanish until the audience turns into performers and vice versa. UMARMUNG is a matured stage of a continuous research, building upon three topics: The measures taken due the recent pandemic cause human touch to disappear, to gain more value, to transform (recognition, rethinking of emotional and sensory situations, forming of new questions); By researching the sculptures of François-Auguste-René Rodin we are focusing on their way of capturing the passive and/or active state of the bodies they portray Embracing our relations to our bodies as humans, artists etc. (if at all there is a way to separate all forms of our material existence) “A cast is not as natural as my sculpture; I am able to preserve a pose in my mind much better than the model, plus I am adding inner life to it.” (A. Rodin)
