Lilith Performance Studio's Catalogue Launch - featuring five performances on June 5th, 2010. http://www.lilithperformancestudio.com


Lilith Performance Studio launched its first Performance Catalogue, Lilith Performance Studio 2007-2009. Lilith celebrated this by showing performances by five artists; Tsuneko Taniuchi (JPN), Melati Suryodarmo (IDN), Lilibeth Cuenca Rasmussen (PHL/DNK), Saralunden (SWE) och Tanya Mars (CAN).

Melati Suryodarmo (b. in 1969 in Surakarta, Indonesia, lives and works in Braunschweig, Germany) performes EXERGIE- Butter dance, an older piece but shown for the first time at Lilith.
20 blocks of butter in a square on the black dance carpet. Suryodarmo enters the space, dressed in a black tight dress and red high heels. She steps on the pieces of butter. She starts to dance to the sound of indonesian shamanistic drums. She dances and falls, hitting the floor hard, rising, and continuously being on the verge of standing, slipping and falling in the butter. After twenty minutes Suryodarmo rises one last time, covered in butter, and leaves the space.

    See.. it's a metaphor about how expressing yourself in a slippery world can lead to humiliation and pain, but if you get back on the butter and keep trying, and falling, and trying, and falling, then in the end it won't even matter because people will be just be like. "WTF? I don't get it." and then they'll clap and forget all about it.

    I'm sure the middle aged women than put time and thought into something knowing people wouldn't like it are more hipster than the guy that comments about it on the internet.

    Why is everyone trying to understand her eccentric projection of dance....

    Can I just settle this theory:

    If think she trying express her love for butter, conversing it feet to butter to ass while contemplating the health risk factors, shes scared and wary but is willing to take the slippery of path of explicit love and a psychedelic crude venture.

    Morbid love....
