Was bleibt?

What remains of an art form called dance? It cannot be captured. Only by doing it over and over again, by doing it practically, it can be found. For the project „Was bleibt?“ ("What remains?"), the Austrian artist is dancing the same choreography in different public and private places since 2004 – always accompanied by the cameraman Jack Hauser. The question of what remains gains special relevance when posed in a hospice. Milli Bitterli dances her choreography there as well, and shows, how dancing is able to create prospects in a mostly socially tabooed place. The encounter with the people in the hospice Mödling has curbed the self-evident, continuous movement choreography and added to the question "what remains?" the question "what is?".
Wunder der Prärie shows a fusion of film and live performance by the artist.
