Our experience with this first presentation made us realize that the performance and the exhibition need not take place in two separate spaces, as was the case at Dschungel Wien. 
In a big enough space it is also possible to first have Wobble - the performance with selected sculptures and then give the audience an opportunity to walk through and explore the spring steel sculptures and their individual body language.

Dance and performance in dialogue with visual arts.
konnex DanceTheatre  presents a 40 minutes performance, the result of their exploration of the flexible spring steel sculptures. The audience joins the performers on a journey through the space:
Four dancers, in their roles of workers are putting up and taking down the exhibition. During their routine activity they are unexpectedly involved in situations that let them slide into different realities: objects become alive, comic situations cause amusement, trivialities suddenly become threatening. Sculptures find their language; dancers wobble and video images create further levels of perception. In short scenes konnex Dance Theatre guides the audience through the exhibition.

Spring steel sculptures from the current series of art works by the renowned Austrian artist Karl-Heinz Ströhle dominate events and are themselves performers.
The objects have their individual body language that becomes visible as soon as they are given a push and set in motion – they begin to wobble. This rhythmic movement, which also gives the event its name, makes them appear alive, conveys emotions and communicates with the observers.

Wobble – experiencing art at ALL ages
The exhibition’s effect on visitors is direct and does not demand prior knowledge of the artist’s work. It appeals to audiences of all ages as our first presentation has successfully proven.

Additional offer for schools 
For schools we also offer art education programmes and discussions with the artists involved.
