The performance takes place as a double bill with WET HOT WOMBS – Bathing into other Bodies by Tentacular Figurings. The performances will be shown one after the other, with a break of 45 minutes. When you buy your ticket, you will receive a combined ticket with which you can attend both performances.

Super naked, super exposed, super shrill. Super Superficial is a performance of movement and sound. It thematizes the transience of surfaces by bending and breaking them. It shows a deceptive image of bodies, in which they deform, shift, and merge with the surfaces and boundaries of the space.

I fake it ergo sum.

Super Superficial asks how the gaze on the naked body can be denuded by exaggerating identities instead of searching for an essence. Between comedy and rage, attributions from the outside and physical resistance, the piece provides a powerful and lively response to the relationship to the naked female body in art and society. Super Superficial is about women who decide to do whatever they want.

Kysy Fischer uses humour to confound the disciplines of dance, performance and theater. As a choreographer, she is interested in minimalist exaggeration and playing with contradictions. Through her work, she seeks forms of contact between performers and audiences and criticizes the hierarchies of artistic spaces and practices. In her academic research in Brazil, she explored performance art as an applied philosophical practice. Fischer is a graduate of the Master’s program Choreography at HZT Berlin.
