Truckers and Trackers, Alien unmade

Genremix by Frauke Havemann / On Air
In the frame of 9. Tanznacht Berlin 2016

An absurdist melding of genres, moving between choreography, performance, film and radio play: a projection surface, a performer, a video and sound editor. The script is based upon films from the sci-fi horror genre, like “Alien” by Dan O’Bannon. The horror begins with the fear of the uncontrollable Other, which invades our territory, attacking and transforming our bodies. But how do we confront the threat? Who or what should we go after … or destroy?

Director/Video and Text Composition: Frauke Havemann | Video/Live Editing: Eric Schefter | Author: Mark Johnson | Performer: Neal Wach |  Productionmanagement: ehrliche arbeit- freies Kulturbüro | The 2006 premiere was funded by the Senate Department for Science, Research and Culture in Berlin and the Performing Arts Fund e.V.
