Alireza Khosroabadi is an Iranian, Vienna-based theater-maker, interdisciplinary artist, and choreographer. He is interested in exploring the liminal space between performance, choreography, and theatre by blurring the line between them. His practice takes many forms, from stage performances to public interventions and everyday-life scores, often addressing socio-political issues. Over time, his work has focused more on re-contextualizing theatre and sites as shared spaces for collective thinking. He uses embodied language and playful explorations of liveness and truth, engaging with the singular and collective identities of performers to politicize identity. Since moving to Austria, he has been working on themes of societal dynamics, otherness, and multilingualism. His work has been presented internationally, with exhibitions in Germany, Italy, and France, and performances in Vienna and Linz.
