An accessible performance between pop and dance.
The performers name their bodies, movements, and sensations. The language used is simple, as is familiar from pop songs and the field of accessibility. Our goal is to make dance and talking about the body accessible—with declarations of war and little things, a sense of poetry and humor.
We take up the simple, direct language of pop where it speaks about bodies.
Bodies (or body parts) serve as hyperlinks: we connect songs where they relate to the body. This results in a medley in which meanings suddenly shift, are exposed, questioned, and tip over into the absurd.
«Arms» contrasts the overloaded symbolism of pop with sober anatomy, allowing the two to create friction: choruses and unison create temporary agreements, bridges open up breaks in which new images of physicality, care, and desire appear. «Arms» does not seek to lecture, but rather to invite listeners to listen and empathize—catchy and clear.
