Teresa Vittucci studies queer and feminist point-of-view in pop culture, history and religion. With her trilogy In Praise of Vulnerability, following Hate Me, Tender – a play on the figure of the Virgin Mary – and Doom – about Eve – Sane Satan offers a playful version of the story of evil.
They are funny, trashy and political. With an esthetic that reappropriates and parodies B TV shows from the 2000s, Alina Arshi and Teresa Vittuci play on clichés. The dialogues are offbeat and absurd.

 In Sane Satan, Vittuci creates a queer-feminist re-reading of Satan, a fascinating character, ambivalent in our cultural history. Satan comes back here as a potential ally for all the people of our societies who are undervalued, excluded and oppressed because of their differences. Here, Satan is considered a liberating and subversive figure.

 

Teresa Vittucci is a Vienna born artist who is currently based in Zurich. Her practice is rooted in the field of contemporary dance performance and investigates feminist and queer perspectives on pop culture, history, and religion. Bad jokes are always part of the process. She works as a solo artist and also collaborates with other artists including Colin Self, Annina Machaz, Simone Aughterlony, Nils A. Lange, MJ Wolf, Michael Turinsky and Claire V. Sobottke. In 2019 Teresa received the Swiss Dance Prize for the first part of her trilogy HATE, ME TENDER. She was Young Associate Artist at Tanzhaus Zürich in 2019-2022. Currently she is busy with touring and working on the completion of her trilogy, next several projects as well as guest teaching at the Art Universities of Zurich and Berne.

Alina Arshi was born in Lucknow, India. She did some of her growing up there, and some of it in Muscat, Oman. This opened her up to a variety of cultural inputs right from the beginning. In 2015 she moved to Brussels, Belgium, from where she obtained her bachelor’s degree in Business Administration at KU Leuven. It was in this city that she discovered the professional dance world and began her training at Tictac Art Center. Here, during a year and a half she let herself be absorbed by the visions, practices, and techniques of artists such as David Zambrano, Mat Voorter, Martin Kilvady, among many more…
