Schimpfluch Gruppe (SWITZERLAND) Artist Talk

Friday 13 July 7-9pm Hydra, Footscray Arts

FAVSC is honoured to host the artist talk of Schimpfluch Gruppe (Dave Philips and Rudolf Eb.Er) on the eve of their tour of Australia and New Zealand. An uncompromising experimental performance group that had its genesis in Switzerland in the mid-eighties, Schimpfluch Gruppe are exponents of “psycho-physical tests and trainings”, a methodology of extreme duration and extreme physicality in performance. Pushing the body to its limits in a live context, Dave and Rudolf will present video footage rarely seen outside of Europe. This is a unique opportunity to gain insights into the origins, motivation and desires of Switzerland’s influential Schimpfluch Gruppe.
