Electrodomestics

“ELECTRODOMESTICS” a dance, music, cooking and talk show

With urgent issues to be dealt with in nowadays Europe a fictitious band for ‘domestic affairs’ Electrodomestics investigates the domestic in the context of the household and relates it to the larger context of the domestic affairs within the ephemeral performance of glam-rock and of pop simplicity and immediacy. Literally different process of producing meaning and of communicating with audiences shall culminate in producing ‘eating’ settings, where the cabaret-like soirees of dining audiences could consume both ideas and food simultaneously. 

“If they don’t like it, they can eat it!” – with this motto a fictitious band for ‘domestic affairs’ Electrodomestics investigates the domestic in the context of the household and relates it to the larger context of the domestic affairs while handling matters that are coined ‘urgent’ or ‘contemporary’ within the ephemeral performance of glam-rock and of pop simplicity and immediacy. Electrodomestics comes out as an artistic work resulting from a collaborative research by choreographer and performance maker Constanza Macras and the Egyptian choreographer/ performance theorist Adham Hafez. A ephemeral performance that aims at returning to the individual, to the personal, through its series of songs and music performances delivered within accessible – and ridiculous – registers of expression and of experimentation.

A production by Constanza Macras | Dorkypark co-produced by KRoki – International Contemporary Dance Festival (Kraków, PL) and NATIONALES PERFORMANCE NETZ (NPN) – Coproduction Fund for Dance (DE) which is funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media on the basis of a decision by the German Bundestag.
