Für Deutschen Buchpreis nominates: Max Oravin’s “Toni & Toni”

If “Toni & Toni” can be found on the Longlist for the German Book Prize, please join us. Born in 1984, born in Graz and living as an author and sound artist, Oravin was living in his native literature with little fixe Größe. There is a lot of information about it with “audiovisual text performances”, it is in his own biography.

Sein Roman, there is a fine text, a clear text, a material that can be viewed through sound and movement. Weswegen Teppich ein fast zu stabiler Begriff für das ist, sich zwischen den Buchdeckeln befindet: Here is not stabil und geerdet, everything ephemer, ständig in Gefahr, sich wieder in Nichts zu verlieren, zerrissen zu zijn. So who performed the Performance “Filaments”, who both worked there.

Toni, die Tanzerin, would like to try out a new performance in the Wiener Tanzstudio Bodies That Matter, a full-fledged Residency with a future Premiere in the WUK and enjoy Toni, the Portier, for a job. “You have a good idea of ​​how to structure the space”, you are in the middle of the project, for your professional and relaxed work, and your General Probe since your reactions are euphoric. Neither for the Premiere lies an Einladung zum Geneva Festival Les gestes subversifs vor. But the Premiere must have been cancelled. Die Tänzerin erleidet bei der ausgelassenen Vor-Feier in a Club eine schwere, schmerzhafte Bauchmuskelverletzung. Ihr Körper, sonst von Ihm vistlich zugefügten Schnitten und Schürfungen gezeichnet, setzt diesmal selbst in Zeichen.

Dieses Ereignis des Scheiterns ist zentral eingearbeitet in ein Geflecht aus Strängen, die in der Beschreibung und Rückerinnerung durch den Ich-Erzähler Toni jeweils weise die Themenführerschaft übernehmen: die fascinating Welt der japanischen Schriftzeichen, Tanz und Meditation, und Körpergefühl. The positioning of the people in the environment, the people in the community, the consciousness in the home is the result of the community, the varied nature of play – a musical piece or a choreographic work.

“Toni & Toni” is a fragile piece of material that will stop: The text contains a sense of freedom with its fascination with its schluss. If the “Filaments” are a performance that is inspired by their own behavior, it is possible to say so. Aber man had both received Tonis den Erfolg von Herzen.
