THE DOG DAYS ARE OVER 2.0
In THE DOG DAYS ARE OVER the dancer is defined as a pure performer, striving for perfection. By subjecting eight dancers to a complex, mathematical, dynamic and exhausting choreography, performed in a forced uniformity, they eventually make a mistake. And then their mask falls off.
With its radical choreographic form, THE DOG DAYS ARE OVER questioned the audience's perception of dancers, choreographers, spectators and the cultural policy of the time. Ten years later, these questions are still very topical due to current political and social trends: Where is the thin line between art and entertainment? Who are we as an audience when we watch the suffering of the dancers from the theatre hall as if we were watching a bullfight in an arena? Is contemporary dance striptease for the upper class? THE DOG DAYS ARE OVER makes the viewer shift in his position: from merely undergoing the experience to active reflection.
