And bring them to the shore. But there are a lot of them. And the river is flowing fast. Perhaps faster than the Internet. Or maybe not ..." - Rolf Baumgart
Fatal sins need mortal sinners, and cardinal virtues need guardians of their virtues. Sins and virtues - the obverse and reverse of the same coin.
The Internet is a river, and in it Sinfluencers, Dancefluencers, Infludancers.
"24/7 New Sins" is bodytalk's fourth co-production with the Polish Dance Theater (Poznań) after JEWROPE (Award for Dance Theater of the City of Cologne in 2014), SOLIDARITOT (recognized as "Performance of the Year"
in "Jahrbuch Tanz" - "Dance Yearbook" 2019) and ROMEOS & JULIAS UNPLAGUED.TRAUMSTADT (main prize Golden Yorick at the 26th International Shakespeare Festival in Gdansk in 2022).
Strobe effects are used during the performance, which may induce epileptic seizures in people sensitive to flashing lights.
