Teresa Vittucci

Sane Satan

Vienna, Zurich

Satan is taboo. The apostate angel is the symbol par excellence of evil. This supposedly ominous figure is still used today to enforce moral concepts. But what exactly is framed as good or evil leaves room for interpretation. It is therefore worth taking a closer look at evil and at those who define it as such.

In the third and last part of her trilogy «IN PRAISE OF VULNERABILITY», Teresa Vittucci takes a humorous look at the stories and images that warn us so vehemently about the devil. In «HATE ME, TENDER», Mary debunks the myth of the hymen, while in «DOOM», Eve frees herself from an imposed value system thanks to her curiosity. Finally in «SANE SATAN», Teresa and her team look for a new, queer-feminist interpretation of this dazzling figure in our cultural history. Seductive, monstrous and trapped in the prevailing structures: Satan has the potential to be an accomplice for all those who are devalued, excluded and oppressed for their otherness. This resistive power of the figure of Satan, who comes to light in the role of outsider, critic and, not least, as a gender-ambiguous figure, paves the way for new per-spectives on common moral concepts.

Simple words

«SANE SATAN» is a dance piece about the devil.

We know the devil from many books and films.

The artists are looking for a new way to understand the devil.

Maybe the devil can also help some people?
