Overview
TRUST ME
TRUST ME
by Falk Richter
Trust me is a US premiere dance/theatre project in collaboration with German playwright Falk Richter, which explores the body and psyche in Western culture and how they inform our ways of thinking, acting, collaborating and moving through this complex system. Using the mediums of dance, theatre, video and music, force/collision will create an interdisciplinary performance which dialogues German and American culture and examines the shaky foundations and mechanisms of human bonds against the background of current crises. Relationships build up and break down in ever shorter time-scales; they become a resource in an increasingly intense competition. Binding, separating. Buying, selling. A picture is presented of human beings who, over the years, have radically intensified modern individuality and celebrated independence as an ideal. This project will also explore the divide between information and sensationalism in modern society and the individual by incorporating notions of media and pop-culture identities.
