Show without text (with the exception of the term “adhesive tape”, which will be translated into the language of the country where the show is performed).
In a scenographic space that is constructed in real time, this performance celebrates an unusual material: sticky tape. After fleeing from a potentially totalitarian regime, the three members of a feminist rock group construct a new participatory habitat on the stage of their exile.
They unroll and follow the tape, tracing graphic lines and defining spaces within a circular layout. Unpredictable and erratic, the sticky tape even spreads to the performers’ bodies, revealing an invisible relational fabric. From almost nothing, they create huts and play with their physicality as a dancer-puppeteer, actress and sound composer.
Their combined sounds invite the audience to reflect on the notions of shelter, metamorphosis and sharing.Playfully borrowing from the world of women’s pro wrestling, they destroy everything to start again elsewhere, for the better.
