UTTU
UTTU
is the space of the hidden
is a memory that emerges from the right hip
is the wound of the past worn on the skin
is where light enters the darkness
is asking to look at her insides
is weaving together the inside and the outside
is feeling all the surfaces that are touched and seen
is letting the light cut through the bones
is making the wounds shine
UTTU is a performative movement exploration that emerges from openness, allowing things to surface, rather than be shaped. It invites the hidden, the broken, the unwanted, and the in-between to reveal themselves - those neglected fragments that exist on the other side. In this space of non-separation, movement unfolds through the gesture of attunement.
UTTU is also a Mesopotamian goddess associated with weaving.

Bio
Anna Biczók is a Hungarian dance artist based in Vienna/Stockholm. As a dancer she has worked with HODWORKS, Viktor Szeri, Karin Pauer and Claudia Bosse among others. In her practice she investigates body and movement as expressions of the dancer’s personal and cultural heritage, exploring immaterial content stored in the ‘body material’. In her work as a choreographer she insists on choreography emerging from the position of ’the dancer’ and on offering ‘the world’ as a cut through the dancer's somatic lense.
Her solo work Precedents to a Potential Future premiered at Cialo/Umysl Festival 2017 in Warsaw and was presented at BE Festival 2019 and Batârd Festival 2020, among others. 2020-2022 she has been invited to the Creative Crossroads artist program (Life Long Burning) delegated by Workshop Foundation Budapest. Her work DELICATE was in Impulstanz 2023 8[:tension] selection.
