Mechanical Ecstasy

Van Mar 2015 t/m Dec 2015
Duur 90 minuten
in co-operation with Club Guy & Roni

The repetitive beats and hypnotic dance of Mechanical Ecstasy will make you forget the world outside. Club Guy & Roni and Slagwerk Den Haag create a Club Night where the party is the performance and the performance is the party. Beats like a mantra create a pathway to ecstasy. Mankind has spent centuries trying to develop music machines that will render him redundant. Even Leonardo da Vinci made sketches of an automatic drum machine. The recent invention of the drum computer has brought drastic changes to music and our culture. These incredible machines are at the heart of this performance. It's man versus machine, with a central role given to automatisms and their disruptions. Performers and audience experience a timeless feeling of freedom in a mix of stirring drum beats and fantasy images. But not for long, as the performance segues seamlessly into a party. 

Music: Jan-Bas Bollen in co-operations with NOISIA | Choreography: Guy Weizman & Roni Haver
