Natascha Moschini

Undine

In Undine, Natascha Moschini explores our ambivalent relationship to bodies of water—nourishing, enchanting, and at the same time threatening. At its core are mythological water beings such as Fouqué’s Undine. What ecological and social dimensions did the Romantic novella open up then, and what does it reveal today? Which desires and fears does it reflect in our relationship with nature? The literary fairy tale serves as a starting point for an exchange on myth-making, Romanticism, and life by the water.

Natascha Moschini

Natascha Moschini is a performer and dance artist. Her work oscillates between the poetic and political intersections of the human body. Through choreographic and dramaturgical forms, she continually explores how social power relations are inscribed in corporeality and expressed through it. Her practice is situated in movement, spatial interventions, and conceptual research. She questions existing inequalities, working across performance, drawing, and interdisciplinary inquiry. Within these contexts, she combines precise observation with a keen sensitivity to interpersonal tensions.

Moschini was a participant in the “danse et dramaturgie” program as well as the “handle with care” laboratory within the network of Swiss theatre institutions. She was a fellow at the Akademie Schloss Solitude (2016) and an associated artist at Dampfzentrale Bern (2020/21). In 2022, she received a development grant from the Performing Arts Committee of Basel-Landschaft and Basel-Stadt and initiated a collaborative research project on dramaturgies of fear. In 2024, she was awarded a work grant from the Landis & Gyr Foundation. In the 2025/26 season, she is a Lab Artist at Kaserne Basel and will be an artist-in-residence at Pro Helvetia Shanghai in summer 2026.
