Bestiarium

Annina Mosimann

A visual artist, performer and puppeteer who draws particular inspiration from materials and objects, Annina Mosimann presents Bestiarium, a show that is visual, auditory and fantastical in every sense of the word.

Théâtre Marionnettes

From a simple wooden crate, she weaves her entire narrative, bringing to life a house populated by all manner of powerful, material and animal-like non-human presences, coexisting under the same roof, just as they do in the young artist's mind. At the heart of the installation, with hands and feet hard at work in a spectacular dissociation of movements, Annina Mosimann animates the space with her whole body. Hidden away inside the box, breathing life into every level of it, she manipulates objects and sounds, but also our gaze, as she playfully sets our imaginations free. From that moment on, anything is possible; just as in Surrealist works, everything is transformed; dream and reality blend together, the strange and the familiar, the unconscious and the certain. Bestiarium, which appeals to both very young children and adults, was awarded the Swiss PREMIO Encouragement Prize for young talent.

She studied Fine Arts at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HSLU) and Puppetry at the Stuttgart University of Music and Performing Arts, and works as a freelance artist and theatre practitioner. Annina Mosimann's work exists at the intersection of performing and visual arts, as well as experimental music, focusing on figures, objects, materials, and the human body. Corporeality, in-between spaces, the unconscious, and the relationship between people and the things that surround us are central themes in her often whimsical, absurd, and humorous performances. Her works « Masa Mater » (2020), « Mycelium » (2021), and « Bestiarium » (2024) have been invited to numerous international festivals. Her latest production, « Bestiarium, » was selected for the Swiss Young Talent Award for Performing Arts, PREMIO 2024.
