Muk aka Mukdanin D.
Phongpachith Performer

Muk aka Mukdanin D. Phongpachith is a «mover, maker & martial artist». His roots lie in martial arts. With a backpack full of successful participation in competitions, he ventured into the challenge of artistic expression. He studied Physical Theatre at the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen (Germany). His artistic work has taken him abroad (Chile, China and Ethiopia) as well as to Swiss institutions (Theater Basel, Käfigturm Bern and the University of Basel). There he was employed either as a performer, actor, dancer or in a leading role as a choreographer, director or workshop leader. In his artistic work, he endeavours to bring extremes together. Controlled loss of control and the search for direct confrontation in a brutal reality colour his artistic perspective and means. He has been part of the ‹Zauberflöte› group of performers at Theater Basel since 2021.
