Pink Lady
Rosalie Wanka / Alemania
I’ve never felt committed to being XX just because I am XX. Socio? Cultural? Gender? Identity? Borders and concepts dissolve the more we keep on changing our perspective. What is there, behind our socially requested avatar that bears our name? Who is actually willing to have a look? To all that pathetic, funny, absurd, random and useless human states? Rosalie Wanka plays with elements of socio-cultural provenience and gender identity, with irony and humor creating a dance that doesn’t care to define itself.

Rosalie Wanka Master in contemporary dance and dance pedagogy at the Anton Bruckner University in Linz / Austria. Postgraduate studies at the UNA, Buenos Aires (contemporary dance tendencies) and the University of Salzburg / FU Berlin (curating in the scenic arts). Since 2009 she has been working as a dancer and choreographer in her own dance company as well as in national and international collaborations. Her unique selling point is the fusion of contemporary dance techniques with Argentine tango, as well as the general combination of different (dance) languages – e.g. sign language – which is reflected in the intercultural and interdisciplinary approaches of her productions. Established in the European and South American scene as a choreographer and performer since 2015, she has realized over 15 scenic works and interdisciplinary collaborations, which have been shown in over 20 countries on 4 continents and continue to tour. She feels equally at ease on conventional stages as in unconventional spaces and site specific settings. She has received several international awards for her solo PINK LADY (2021) (Italy, Spain, Korea) – for its interpretation as well as for its choreography.
