Context and highlights
- Recent notable projects and venues include:

This production drew media coverage for its intensity and boundary-pushing content. [General coverage; see mainstream arts outlets reporting on Sancta’s premiere and reception]

It has been described in press as expansive and energetic, reinforcing her signature approach to performance art. [Reports from Berlin arts scene and festival previews]
- Other recent or ongoing projects: Holzinger has been associated with residencies and commissions in European theaters and venues, and her work often features collaborations with international partners, extensive technical design, and explicit or boundary-pushing content intended to provoke discussion around feminism, climate, and spectacle.
