Bert Berg - A Futile Act of Domestication (14:00 and 16:00)
A FUTILE ACT OF DOMESTICATION
'The Futile Act of Domestication' is a choreographic circus performance that uses an expressive handstand language to give shape to the ambiguous feelings of just wanting and not wanting to fit into a box, a house, or a norm.
Inspired by Red Zebra's 'I Can’t Live in a Living Room' and 'Dogville', a choreographic game arises from the lines of painter's tape and our collective imagination in which a person tries to domesticate themselves.
"The performance beautifully shows how we all carry 'boxes' around with us" - L'Altre Festival -
