With SANE SATAN, Austrian performance artist Teresa Vittucci returns to Sophiensæle for the fifth time and dedicates herself in a humorous way to probably the most dazzling figure in our cultural history: the Devil.


Satan is taboo. The fallen angel is the symbol of evil par excellence. But who decides, who or what is considered evil? Seductive, monstrous, and trapped in the prevailing structures: Satan has the potential to be an accomplice for all those who are devalued, excluded, and oppressed because of their otherness.

In the third and final part of the IN PRAISE OF VULNERABILITY trilogy, Teresa Vittucci examines the stories and images that warn us so vehemently about the devil and searches for a new, queer-feminist reading of this gender- and morally ambiguous figure.
