Mateja Bučar. Annenlinie , steirischerherbst’23
https://www.steirischerherbst.at/en/program/artists/5148/mateja-bucar
In her choreographic intervention on Annenstraße, Mateja Bučar and her collaborators address the troubling Nazi past of Graz, which left deep scars in the city. Annenstraße was once a busy shopping street. Many of its shops were run by Jewish families, who were expropriated after the Anschluss in 1938. Bučar’s intervention temporarily stops the traffic with a line of human bodies, compactly connecting the entrances of all buildings from which Jewish shops were removed.
