The Hills Have Crazy Eyes

“The Hills Have Crazy Eyes - Woman in a Landscape” chronicles a series of experiences over the course of a single day. The mountain as a symbol of aggression has become porous; the glaciers are melting and the rocks are crumbling. Summit fixation has become superfluous. A renaissance in the perception of nature occurs, told through a group of melting figures that have immersed themselves, been overgrown, and thus are able to communicate with the mountain as a living organism.

Anna McCarthy and Manuela Rzytki recently electrified the Kammerspiel audience with the performance of their band What Are People For? at the birthday party of Munich’s finest record store Optimal. Following “It’s a Stake Strike”, as part of the Global Angst conference, a ritual mixture of parade and opera, McCarthy embarks on a new genre-bending performance work with “The Hills Have Crazy Eyes”, for which the visual artist, musician and author brings together extraordinary talents: The performance is created in close collaboration with musician Manuela Rzytki, a musical ensemble, video artist Vanessa Hafenbrädl, dancers, climbers, performers and the KÖŞK choir.

On the occasion of the performance, McCarthy will be presenting an accompanying publication with Edition Taube and a bronze edition with Fonderia Artistica Battaglia in collaboration with Sperling.
