Handle with Care 2026 Part II

Handle with Care 2026

We are excited to announce Part 2 of our new Huggy Bears at Handle with Care 2026.

All Huggy Bears will share their work-in-progress on two weekends in March. On March 14 & 15 it is Daria Nosik’s and Sunggu Hong’s turn.
Handle with Care is a format created by brut Wien that supports artists in the first phases of their creative production. As part of the imagetanz festival 2026, it offers space to share work-in-progress in an open and supportive setting. Each artist presents an initial version of their project for 20 minutes and then opens the space for questions and feedback from the audience. It is also a great opportunity to get to know our Supporting Programm Artists and their projects.

When:
March 14, 2026 | 18:00–20:00
March 15, 2026 | 16:00–18:00

Where:
Bears in the Park
Eyzinggasse 12/2

The Works

Daria Nosik – DOG
DOG is a performance experiment on reversed evolution. It revolves around a person who, driven by the desire to be fashionable, trendy and perfect, returns to an animal state. The performance examines not only how systems drill and shape a person, but also how we voluntarily submit to social norms via trend culture and the pressure of digital perfection. DOG is not a tragedy but a grotesque farce that reflects the fears of our age.

Sunggu Hong – Raised by the Chronic; Beyond, the Moth
To grow up means not only to receive attention, care and love but also discipline, conflicts, resentment and hostility. And yet, it results in the possibility to live together. Sunggu Hong’s performance Raised by the Chronic; Beyond, the Moth is a research-based project about fear and the complex relationships between humans and non-humans from a decolonial point of view. It challenges the lines between those two and the concept of how we live together, asking: ‘Who raises whom – and how?’
