Présentation

Katharina Rüll creates fiction with plenty technics…she makes her own world with stage building, props, costumes and performance. But never in a dramatic way. Her stile is very quiet and abstract even if she is telling complex stories. The content of this stories are human archetypes, old fairytales and sience fiction. Instead of doing that in the traditional way of an storyteller, she has invented a original mix of Minimalism and Mystic. Also the material that she is using has always its own history. It is a collection of staff that Katharina Rüll finds on her walking tours through Basel and surroundings. Hunting for interesting things is part of the process and brings new contents. But this isnt the only reason why she is working with used material. Also in order to point to the responsibility of an artist to protect natural resorces. Tranceformation in all its forms is her discipline and it doesnt matter with what kind of media she is showing that. Her mission is to find magic in the ordinary.
