Dancers move swiftly between styles and expressions; from waacking to TikTok mimicry, from synchronized group formations to ironic selfie poses. Like a living feed, they cite clips and movements from social media and let the virtual be transferred into the physical space – into bodies, rhythm, and breath.
Trailer Park is a high-energy and visually rich dance performance that explores how the internet’s constant stream of images, videos, and impulses leaves marks on the body and society. With a visual language that oscillates between the banal and the brilliant, the choreographed and the seemingly random, the stage becomes a kind of physical simulation of the web itself: a place where everything happens simultaneously, where one scrolls, flips, and jumps from one thing to another, endlessly.
The work is created the company tanzmainz Stheater Mainz, in collaboration the-based choreographeritz Ostrusjak, who for several years has a distinctive method on reuse and: “Everything a remix.” Movement material in Trailer is drawn from digital realm; out, copied and reconstructed together the dancers. contributes with their, making the material their own: like a body-based DJ set where the is both form story.
The piece balances a fascinating perspective: it on digital contemporary life our physical existence, but without moral critique. It not about distancing ourselves from the internet, but about translating its logic into movement. What does it look like when you dance with ten open browser tabs in your head? does it feel when bodies in constant attention, start to? In exhaustion repetition, vulnerability, perhaps genuine moments emerge on stage, an internal logic arises, like an algorithm given physical form.
Trailer Park is performance for our time: restless,, accessible, and disruptive. It raises questions ownership, originality, and exhaustion inviting us feel what happens the body when the digital is no just something observe, but something we are immersed in.
«An energetic and unnervingly zeitgeisty work that both comes from and speaks to our age»
