MOUVOIR Stephanie Thiersch - cactus bar (2008)

What characterises the sensuous human after loosing all sexual taboos? What remains of desire if the secret vanished and boredom took over? In collaboration with four dancers, an actor, a DJane, and a musician the Cologne based artist Stephanie Thiersch explores the dark sides of eroticised bodies, the need for love in-between the extremes. „Stephanie Thiersch is a contemporary surrealist. She is one the most risk taking and experimental body artists of the present. (3Sat, Birgit Adler- Conrad)Concept, direction: Stephanie Thiersch// choreography, dance: Douglas Bateman, Orlando Rodriguez, Agustina Sario, Romy Schwarzer// acting: Jens Münchow// music: Joseph Suchy// DJ: Miss Bailey// costume: Karen Piewig// Bühne: Bettina Buck// dramaturgy: Rosi Ulrich// light-design: Niko Moddenborg, Stephanie Thiersch// assistance: Teresa Ranieri, Karen Piewig// technical direction: Niko Moddenborg// production management: Béla Bisom"In this ironic stage design of artist Bettina Buck -- spiny leather furniture and latex-resembling black ground - Stephanie Thiersch is performing with virtuosity the variations of dance comedy with the subject "eroticism today". Humorous consolation for panic of the sex drive."
