Dessert sands, whip -cracking: Cirucs Media Performance!
In this highly interdisciplinary multimedia performance “6 Feet Deeper", physics meets the Wild West. Therefore performer Maren Strack learned whipping and made it the center of her choreography. As starting point post theater uses biographic sources, first the myth of Calamity Jane, the only female cowboy, second the physicist Ernst Mach.
Maren Strack dances with the whip as an object and a motif. The whip is an enlargement of the body, a communication tool in supersonic velocity, a dangerous weapon, a tool, a snake - equally peculiar and strange to the user. The stage is a huge video projection at her feet. The animated figures respond to the performer's movements and cracking sounds of the whip.
*"6 Feet Deeper" is the first part of "6-8-10", a trilogy about trafic, technology and female pioneers.
