Künstler*innenhaus Mousonturm

In multi-media settings and scandalous narrations, performance artist Mamoru Iriguchi acts out startling transformations of body, identity and gender. In Painkillers, his female alter ego battles with various forms of stage magic (e.g. sawing a woman in half!), the excessive physical dimensions of a gigantic fat suit and untraceability of pain that magically comes and goes.
