Restor(y)ing the Body

The COOK, EAT & CLEAN Salon returns to eindorf, exploring the theme Art and Healing: Restor(y)ing the Body. Curated by Viennese choreographer Linda Samaraweerová, this seven-day program of performances, workshops, lectures, and a multi-day laboratory focuses on the body in the contexts of spirituality, ethics, art, and healing. Through diverse perspectives, national and international contributors aim to restore the body and explore new narratives around and about it. Visitors are invited to engage with diverse approaches to the body and spiritual knowledge in an immersive, touching atmosphere.

Featuring choreographers Ondine Cloez, Kotomi Nishiwaki, Venuri Perera, and Zwoisy Mears-Clarke, alongside filmmaker Ujjwal Kanishka Utkarsh, writer/director Ivan Strelkin, and the Czech band Mantrovníci, the program explores healing and transformation.
Experts including Dr. Ajit Kulkarni, Valentina Desideri, Johanna Zachhuber, Laurence Morlon, Mytri Suchetas Mahasthita, Arno Böhler, Larisa Francírková, and Sven Hartberger offer insights into health, music, dance, philosophy, and ethics. Visitors are invited to discover fresh narratives and approaches to restoring the body in a salon-like atmosphere.
