Fruchtgenuss is based on the life story of Bernadette Laimbauer’s father, who sold the family home to quit his job at an insurance company and travel the world. What remains are shredded documents piled into a heap of white dust. In the course of the show, Laimbauer slips into the role of three animals to address social behavior in relation to work and leisure and to ask herself and the audience what is to be done with a useless inheritance.
Bernadette Laimbauer (1989, Gmunden, Austria) is an artist who combines elements of the performing and visual arts. Her performances range from scripted stage shows, live compositions, and performative sculptures in exhibitions to intimate rituals in hotel rooms or actions in public spaces. What unites them is spontaneous reaction in the moment. Improvisation and intuition also play a major role. Laimbauer lives in Mooskirchen, Graz, and Linz.
