#INVENT A NEW DANCE#
THIS IS SO F***DANCE!
/// the show /// 2014
Created by Laia Fabre & Thomas Kasebacher Featuring Laia Fabre, Arttu Palmio, Nicholas Hoffman, Thomas Kasebacher Artistic coaching Gérald Kurdian Costumes Lise Lendais Music Nicholas Hoffman
In THIS IS SO F*** DANCE! the artist duo Laia Fabre and Thomas Kasebacher delve into popular culture focusing on folk dance and its community-forming function. Combining various elements of music, singing and dance they ask how dealing with traditions and values can be reconciled with today’s society coined by popular culture. With regard to traditional folk dance, the focus is on a new kind of symbiosis from touching, moving and sociability. THIS IS SO F*** DANCE! will lure its audience into a new world of wild dancing, dubious devices and a soundtrack produced by the performers themselves. In the end the biggest challenge for the audience will be to remain quiet in their seats. Let THIS IS SO F*** DANCE! shake your ground!
