Work description

no conclusion remains on the other , 2004 - the play takes place in the Wilten district of Innsbruck, where a monastery, a women's shelter and a brothel are located in a very small space. The three “extreme women” whore , nun , and lesbian appear in extremely trivial situations in the play, they hang the laundry on the line, assemble IKEA shelves or make an orderly entrance and exit on the catwalk. Hooker, nun, lesbian are called Gloria Gastl - née Roseneder, Elisabeth Ebenbichler - praying Amata and Patrizia Proxauf - commonly known as Pat. All three are around forty. They use cliché images to get some air about the men's sexual desires, the prayer instructions in the monastery and the verbal office traffic with the women's shelter. By slightly rotating the meanings, a new reality of consciousness emerges. A classical Greek choir , from which lyrical and generally applicable parts of the sentence flow, explains the connection between capital and life security, sings of true values ​​and sifts through the drafts of happiness.

the easier the girls and everything else than that , 2002 - diamonds can be threaded around a mighty neck or neck of a mighty man, but they are also pressed onto grinding wheels with which various workpieces are milled together. Barbara Hundegger's poetry works in a similar way; the diamond words can be used for decoration or to grind the states together. Even the title of the volume of poems is composed according to this concept, the light girls are called morally and weight-related and stand in an everyday context that is described as a complementary set, just "everything else than that". The seven sub-sections of the book have such ambiguous titles as “next stop wörgl next no stop”, “women layers” or “rolex”. If you read these chapter headings as a continuous message, the “rolex” wristwatch suddenly develops into a rolling country road that is just being loaded in Wörgl . And the “women layers” read like geological faults, which many a man tamper with when he clumsily works through the fate of a woman like a layer of rock.

And forgotten things sleep in the sisters , 1998 - The core poems of the volume are called “bed surrounded by which I do not lie”. “Rear-view mirror furious”, “let Innsbruck”, “from the end of frost”. Women disappear into an amorphous structure between suburbs. The poems are hermetically secured against the reader, the code words for decryption are constantly changing, and ultimately the riddles of the poems remain unsolved.
