Angie Hiesl Produktion

Under the label Angie Hiesl Produktion, Angie Hiesl and Roland Kaiser present their interdisciplinary projects at locales distant to art in urban spaces. The site-specific works temporarily transform public and private spaces in art venues. Their artistic and performative interventions create new contexts, condensing local peculiarities and putting them in context to social phenomena. Thematically, their coordinates are to be found in the relationship between the human body and space/ architecture as well as in the relationship between humans and their respective cultural, social, political, and global environment. The human body is a central topic, with its confines and no limitations at the same time. Hiesl’s and Kaiser’s original aesthetic means of expression as well as their concepts turn out to be sensual provocations – an invitation to the audience and to passers-by alike to take a new look at something we believed was familiar, a re-arrangement of reality. They communicate their art in workshops and lectures. The multi-award winning works are being shown globally.

Angie Hiesl, grew up in Venezuela, Perú and Germany, and has been living in Cologne since 1975. From the 1980s onwards, the director, choreographer, performance and installation artist has been presenting her interdisciplinary works, having been awarded numerous theatre and arts prizes since then. She is one of the first choreographers in Germany to exclusively develop site-specific choreographies. Her cooperation with Roland Kaiser began in 1997. Together, they create and realize their projects which were shown at a number of national and international festivals. They also communicate their art in workshops and lectures. Director, choreographer, performance and fine artist Roland Kaiser stages interdisciplinary performance projects since 1993.
