Marta and Alex are developing a performance series called ICONIC RHETORICS, which includes the award-winning performance YOUR MAJESTIES – based on The Nobel Peace Prize Lecture of Barack Obama, as well as the recently premiered QUEEN OF HEARTS – based on confessions of Princess Diana. Their upcoming project within this series is called PONTIFEX – based on the figure of Pope Francis.
Marta Navaridas (*San Sebastián) and Alex Deutinger (*Salzburg) both studied Translation, Interpreting and Dance. Marta studied Translation at Pompeu Fabra University Barcelona, Choreography at ArtEZ University Arnhem and Mime at HKA Amsterdam. Alex studied Translation at Karl-Franzens University Graz and Contemporary Dance at the Institute for Dance Arts (IDA) of Anton Bruckner University Linz.
They have been developing text-based performance works since 2007. They are based in Graz, Austria.
Selected works: Look at Them Now! (2007), This is Not a Ship (2008), Your Majesties (2010), Fandango and Common Consciousness (2011), Speaking of Which (2013), On the Other Hand (2013), Queen of Hearts (2016).
