Performing at Ada/Ufer studios Berlin "10 times 6" performance series. Nove 10/11 2012.
Description: Born out of a workshop with Vincent Riebeek in NZ in 2012 and prior work 'The Star' explores satirical and embodied notions using 'psychomagic' (Jodorowsky) of the tarot card of the Star (pulled in the workshop), interweaving a response to today's problematic relationship of humans to the environment and our 'needs' to be a 'Star' within a warped media culture, which overlooks a greater respect slightly more pressing. Drawing upon a complex embodiment of the Star card, the work interweaved the character of the superstar with the high priestess, struggling to present the news, the weather, chaotic weather patterns, impossible emotions in relation to superficial presentation, consumerism and attempts to find what the meaning of the 'Star' tarot card is. It represents hope, optimism and inspiration. She is seen pouring water, so I pour water onto the stage and lick it up off the floor. Among other things, like embodying a news reader/weather presenter/a woman giving birth to a camera, a sunbather, a cleaner, blood, flood, fragmentation, and a bound connection to technology, struggling to find its own bodily identity.
