Performance as an impulse for public discourse is found at the Berlin premiere of “This Is still Not Normal”, by Arantxa Martinez and Juan Dominguez. This charming conceptual art duo approach a range of topics that shape our reality and social interaction: with eight performers, the artists design one-to-one performances in Radialsystem’s outdoor areas, centring intimacy, sexuality and corporeality. Over the course an intimate journey, the project negotiates situations and encounters that immerse us in unexpected juxtapositions of bodies, identities, experiences, fantasies and desires.
“This Is Still Not Normal” opens up the possibility of experiencing, talking about, and sharing intimacy, thereby rendering accessible the political dimension of our sexuality.

Biographien
Juan Domínguez is a conceptual clown, magical cowboy, model-poet, untied narrator and curator of pleasure. As a maker and organizer within the fields of choreography and performing arts his work explores the relationship between different codes and advocates the complete dissolution between fiction and reality. He is also working on the idea of co-authorship between all the agents involved in a live aesthetic experience. Some of his recent works are „My Only Memory“ (2018), „Tálamo“ (2020), „Between you and me“ (2020) with Amalia Fernández and „This is Not Normal“ (2021) with Arantxa Martínez. Over the past two decades, Domínguez has curated various artistic programmes and festivals.
Arantxa Martínez is a Berlin based artist, her work focuses on processes of identification, exchange and dependence between the body and its environment and questions performativity in relation to these processes. Some of her recent works are „Avant-Garten“ (2017) and „This is Not Normal“ (2021) with Juan Domínguez, as well as „Medusa Rise“ (2019), and „From Behind All Over“ (2022). As a performer she works with artists such as Thiago Granato, Kate McIntosch, Eszter Salamon, Sabine Zahn, Pauline Boudry & Renate Lorenz, Alice Chauchat, Paz Rojo, Antonia Baehr, Deborah Hay, María Jerez, Petra Sabisch, Cullberg Ballet, Isabelle Schad or Velma, among others. Since 2015 she teaches regularly at the Stockholm University of the Arts and Madrid (Máster en Práctica Escénica y Cultura Visual).
Julia Rodríguez is a mexican-born artist and lives and works in Berlin. Her work is situated within the performing arts field and unfolds in various environments and constellations as a choreographer, performer and artistic companion. Her work explores how to defamiliarize from the well-known by weaving imaginaries, languages and temporalities where judgement and the politics of expectations don’t fully operate and in which spectatorship can be in a dynamic process. Her latest works „Later“ (2018), „By the time you see this it will be gone“ (2019) und „T H E B A R“ (2020) have been presented in Berlin, Estonia, Copenhagen and Mexico City.
