Black Out as a projection screen for your imagination
We live in an automated world. Online calendars, e-cars, driverless trains, music streams, touch displays from the train station to the supermarket, ...As fascinating as these systems are, they are also sensitive and fragile. The more we rely on technology being there for us, the more a dependency relationship is established - a blackout would mean a complete interruption of our daily routines.
In our production "Black Out" we use this rather unpleasant scenario as a starting point for creative adventures. The scenery is an underground train station; the protagonists kindly ignore each other, they are busy with themselves. Suddenly power is gone, only the lights of smartphones illuminate the room. Otherwise - no light, no phone reception, locked in isolation, alone with strangers. Fears and tension are released; in a mixture of an emerging sense of community and boredom in the dark, fantasy finds a wonderful breeding ground.
In contrast to the analogue existence in a blackout, the flowmotion dance company combines a variety of state-of-the-art media and cutting-edge technology for the creation of digital dreamworlds. 3D mapping, projection dance, shadow plays and e-mobility gadgets in harmony with music, dance and artistry.
Digital art meets analogue play.
The audience experiences intense choreographies in perfect symbiosis with impressive audio-visual effects, magical illusions and visually powerful dramas. A real-life story that could happen to anyone - technically elaborate and on the highest artistic level! An unprecedented show experience for all generations!
