A dance mashup, a bastard pop collage stolen from 1000 different sources: In AUTOPLAY, the copy & paste button becomes the leitmotif. Every movement, every sound, every image is an objet trouvé taken from the World Wide Web. From contemporary choreography to the Harlem Shake, from the video game Fortnite to shampoo commercials, from the selfie style on Instagram to the globally
marketed pose of Michelangelo's David – everything is recombined, reorganized and intermixed. In AUTOPLAY, Moritz Ostruschnjak sends the audience off into a space of hyperlinks that amalgamate into an image of (digital) existence in the 21st century – utopia and consumer terror, subculture and populism are always just one click away from each other.

About Moritz Ostruschnjak
In his works Moritz Ostruschnjak dwells upon the transformations in physical and social experiences in times of digitization and virtualization. His pieces are spaces made up of hyperlinks which utilize the media-machinery of the 21st century as a motif as well as an archive, thus mirroring and reflecting social processes. Following the principle of pick & mix and cut & paste, highly heterogeneous elements and connections form the narrative of a reality in which the boundaries between politics, entertainment and populism become increasingly indistinct.
As an active member of the graffiti sprayer scene, Moritz Ostruschnjak developed his interest in contemporary dance through breakdancing. He studied at Iwanson International in Munich and completed his training with Maurice Béjart in Lausanne. After this, he worked as a dancer at home and abroad. He has been working as a freelance choreographer in Munich since 2013 and created the solo “Island of Only Oneland” and the ensemble pieces “Text Neck”, “BOIDS”, “UNSTERN” and “AUTOPLAY”. His latest production “YESTER:NOW” (2021) premiered at Munich’s largest concert space, the Philharmonic hall of the Gasteig.
His pieces have been performed at many European festivals, the production “UNSTERN” was selected for the TANZPLATTFORM DEUTSCHLAND 2020 and his solo TANZANWEISUNGEN for TANZPLATTFORM DEUTSCHLAND 2022. He has been selected as one of the Aerowaves Twenty21 Artists (with TANZANWEISUNGEN) . In addition, he was 2020 awarded with the Promotion Award Dance of the City of Munich for his artistic work. Moritz Ostruschnjak is a member of Tanztendenz München e.V. and has been supported by the network Grand Luxe since 2019.
Press
“This piece is a lot of fun. (…) ‘Autoplay’ reads like a record of its own actions and at the same time goes beyond that point and, while remaining embedded in current events, refers back to the history of dance. All of this happens with soft wit, light as a feather. (...) The path leads from an existential place, where Martin Luther King's ‘I have a dream’ can be found all the way to a personified AI named Anna.
In many elaborate versions, the quartet, like all of us, sometimes stops in its tracks. Right up until the
apotheosis culminates in Richard Strauss’ ‘Zarathustra’ and Wagner’s ‘Ride of the Valkyries’. The
repetition loop, the ‘Autoplay’, is included. Fabulous.”
