Jacqueline Weihe aka jhajha why, born 1991 in the north of Germany, is a performance artist, lyricist and organisator for different events like experimental readings, art-parties and exhibitions.
After years of studying Creative Writing and Performing Arts in Berlin, Vienna and Bonn she constantly seeks after unusual contexts to create and present her work.
Coming from a background in classical theater she is trying to open up the limits of stage and connect audience and performers in new ways.
She often works with her own body as a possibility to reflect on our social behaviour and influences, our understanding of „normality“ as well as text, sound and video to build immersive installations.
Brushing teeth in a museum, live-writing in public spaces, moderating karaoke for just one person or getting physically touched by the visitors – focusing our daily life routines and sometimes unconscious perceptions: Witnessing how context can change the topic and its effect, how observing each other can change our habits as artists and spectators is a highly valued interesting and thrilling challenge to her.
