MARIA PASK AND ESTHER DE VLAM (EDITION II)
The Birds And The Bees
A discussion about the birds and the bees may involve, according to the artists, "…references to nature and reproduction without actually describing human biology or providing any useful insight." 'The Birds And The Bees' tells of Twinkle's, Seed's, Good's and Ready's clumsy and inept attempts to understand their roles as independent women of the world.
Composed around three acts: 'exposure', 'interpretation' and 'confrontation', they each follow a set of moves that chart various behavioural patterns used to equip oneself in the development from exposed single cell to member of an aggressive collective chain.
Maria Pask and Esther de Vlam developed for this performance props, music and a choreography, executed by five dancers: Vela Arbutina, Melanie Bonajo, Carolin Reichert, Tania Theodorou, and Marianne Viero. Percussion: Simon de Swaaf.
