On 31 March and 1 April Carolina Cappelli presents her performance “B-MOVIES” in Kanuti Gildi SAAL. On 2 April, she leads a public workshop for anyone who’s interested in the larger research of the project “B-MOVIES” and sharing tools of dealing and working with fear.

Carolina Cappelli invites the participants to collectively reflect on the representation of female characters in horror movies, with a focus on the re-appropriation of fear and on the figure of the female spectator in horror films. Through mixing writing, cinematic and performative practices, the workshop investigates how to break expectations around tropes to imagine new ways of dealing with fear.

The workshop doesn’t require any previous experience in cinema or performance making, passion for horror cinema isn’t required either.

Carolina Cappelli is an Italian performance artist, filmmaker and artistic gymnastic teacher based in Vienna. She studied film, audiovisual practices, experimental theatre and performing arts at Accademia di Belle Arti in Bologna, at IUAV in Venice and at Mattatoio in Rome. Her research involves the hybridisation between writing on the one hand and performance and cinematic practices on the other, generating works that question the context in which they’re proposed. Carolina has worked with artists such as Markus Öhrn, Francesca Grilli, Bruce Nauman, Roberto Fassone and Alex Franz Zehetbauer. She is the winner of the Italian Council’s 2024 prize and of the Vienna Prize for Performing Arts provided by the Italian Ministry of Culture and the Italian Cultural Institute in Vienna. In 2025, she was part of the PARASOL programme of Tanzquartier Wien.
