In her choreographic research, Sarah Baltzinger is having fun exploring all possible avenues around the puppet body. Her language unfolds through protean objects that navigate between absurd theatricality and fragmented bodies. She populates her various works with hybrid creatures and mechanical puppets to create liberating objects that seek to reveal our fragilities, and likes to use the body, in conjunction with different materials, as a complex tool of possibilities aimed at transforming the natural approach to movement to create strange worlds. Her movement explores distortion, disarticulation, mechanical gesture and combinations of bodies. In her creative process, she tends to reveal the singularities of each individual by conducting a genuine theatrical research.

Sarah Baltzinger’s work questions the impact of our environment and its consequences on our identity and intimacy, the way it transforms and affects us, constraining or liberating us. It questions the way how we present ourselves to the world, and how the body becomes a vehicle for multiple, elusive and surprising representations. She works closely with the multi-disciplinary artist Isaiah Wilson, with whom she has formed a partnership for several years.
