SunBengSitting is a piece straddling yodelling, folk dance and contemporary dance, a trip to the past and a playful, humorous search for identity.\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Austrian farm boy and performance artist Simon Mayer invites the audience to get to know his life, his contradictions and his indignation at having to submit to categories and conventions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having grown up on a farm facing traditions, nature, youthful rebellion and a bucolic heavy metal band, Simon Mayer moved to Vienna in 1997, attended Vienna\u2019s State Opera\u2019s dance school, spent a season as an aspiring dancer in the corps de ballet and very unexpectedly landed in a world where the word \u201cfarmer\u201d could be used as an insult. The move was equal parts deliverance and constraint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SunBengSitting \u2013 \u201cSunbeng\u201d is a word in the Upper Austrian dialect that means the bench in the sun in front of the farmhouse \u2013 deals with questions that emerge between the poles of city and country, homeland and foreign lands, pigeonholing and artistic freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
