“Kein Paradiso” is a choreography for three performers: Adam Linder, Jennie MaryTai Liu, and Stephen Thompson. Situated within a visually abstract scenario designed by Shahryar Nashat, the performers try to find their way back to distinctions of representation and away from the universalism inherited from the lineages of modern and postmodern dance. With “Kein Paradiso” Adam Linder received the prestigious Mohn Award from the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles.

Adam Linder (1983, Sydney) is a choreographer and dancer based in Los Angeles and Berlin. He makes theatre works and provides Choreographic Services. In 2016, Linder participated in the Made in LA Biennial at The Hammer Museum Los Angeles, where he was awarded with the Mohn Prize for artistic excellence.
