INTERVIEW
I’m very happy to be taking part in the Prague Biennial in December in my debut as writer/director (not performing this time).
Tranzit.at director, Georg Schöllhammer interviewed me and we discussed empathy, which is the main theme of the festival.
I was happy to premiere my short one woman show, “When Time Has Flown” at Kulturen in Bewegung in association with Unesco at The Volkskundemuseum in June this year. It was part of an all day event addressing inequality in the arts.

From the Iron Curtain to the European Union’s Schengen, how have borders and their removal affected a small village just across the Austrian border in the Czech Republic?
It is 1999 and London based DJ Eunikoro Rhensarai gets into her time machine intending to travel back to 1974. However something goes wrong and she ends up in an afro textured hair salon in Vienna instead. When The World Comes To An End, Move To Vienna …– Because Everything Happens There 20 Years Later! is an Afro-futuristic piece on racism and fear of the future.
London, 1999. DJ Eunikoro Rhensarai is not ready for the new millennium. The quality of metropolitan life has diminished and capitalism is on the rampage. This also affects Eunikoro, who has neither savings nor a steady income. Eunikoro therefore decides to board her time machine and travel back to 1974 and make the ‘right’ choices (with the benefit of hindsight). Something goes wrong, however and she remains in 1999, but is transported to Vienna.
In this new environment, Eunikoro is faced with her own identity as well as with her fears about the future. When The World Comes To An End, Move To Vienna … Because Everything Happens There 20 Years Later! is a tale of masks and migration, of talent and possibilities, true identities and those that are misconstrued. An entertaining science fiction drama with social commentary.
