Luigi Guerrieri (IT/AT)

is a performance artist with a background in anthropology based in Vienna. His work focuses on the meeting point between movement, improvisation, and storytelling, combining academic, artistic and physical research. Luigi often questions strong enfleshed cultural concepts such as hegemonic masculinity or the dictatorship of well-being in FLOWERS. He loves to obsessively repeat common sayings like “son of a bitch” in DEINE MUTTER and to literally apply daily expressions like “to jump for joy” in BOUNCING JUMPING. Guerrieri’s ‘autoethnographic’ monologue POOR GUY humorously and light-heartedly performs the double-edged nature of self-discovery and self-promotion – ‘a narcissistic project that beats a narcissistic world at its own game.’ His works have been presented in venues as WUK Performing Arts, Theater am Werk or Schauspielhaus Wien/Impulstanz. Luigi takes care of his kids, sometimes writes a Blog, from time to time publishes short video-performances on Instagram and TikTok and occasionally works as a cook. www.luigiguerrieri.com
