anger angels
(ETERNAL LETDOWN)
anger angels (ETERNAL LETDOWN) is the first collaboration between choreographers and artists Teresa Vittucci and Sophia Rodriguez. In this hypnotic, humorous and visceral performance they explore anger as a transformative, even celestial energy.
Set within a surreal, corporate-inspired landscape, the two become angelic messengers that navigate and process human rage. These angels are not serene beings, but active catalysts like listeners, warriors and translators between worlds. Through movement, voice and sincere irony, they transform anger into something luminous and liberating. Experiencing anger angels (ETERNAL LETDOWN) feels like receiving a deep tissue massage you did not know you needed: both unsettling and strangely soothing.
• Sophía Rodríguez (1984, VE/BE, she/her) is an actress, dancer, choreographer, and circus artist. She has studied circus, dance, and physical theatre in Venezuela (Universidad Experimental de las Artes), Cuba (Cuban National Circus School), and Switzerland (Accademia Dimitri). Her long-term exchange and training with David Zambrano has had a strong influence on her artistic practice. As a creator, she uses physical performance, embodied knowledge, voice, and improvisation as building blocks for energetic, feminist, and critical performances that always balance between disciplines. Kaaitheater previously presented her FRICTION (2023), in collaboration with Charleroi Danse.
• Teresa Vittucci (AT/CH, she/they) is a Vienna-born artist who has lived in Zurich since 2015. In her contemporary dance performance, she explores feminist and queer perspectives on pop culture, history, and religion, using subversive humour as an important starting point. Teresa has been working since 2018 on Trilogy in Praise of Vulnerability, consisting of the solo works HATE ME, TENDER, SANE SATAN, and the duet DOOM with Colin Self. Other works include UNLEASH (2012), LUNCHTIME (2015), ALL EYES ON (2017), and WE BODIES, a collaboration with Michael Turinsky and Claire Vivianne Sobottke. Teresa also maintains strong artistic ties with Belgium, and regularly collaborates with Belgian performers and makers. Her work ALL EYES ON was presented at VIERNULVIER’s With Pleasure festival, and CAMPO showed HATE ME, TENDER, and DOOM. Her physical, confrontational, and deeply personal artistic signature not only resonates with Rodríguez’s work but also holds an important place in the Belgian performing arts landscape.
