A REMIXED DANCE TRIBUTE TO FOOTBALL

TANZTHEATER BIELEFELD (2006)

The performance delves into the physical routine of the greatest game on earth and elevates the aesthetic aspects of its insanity. It comments the artificial conflict between the common sports and the eloquent arts as well as the pride and prejudice surrounding the concept of working-class football and upper-class ballet.

Behind the slow-motion replays, crotch-scratching rituals and satirical player stereotypes lurks a sophisticated take on a global obsession that says much about the human condition.
