Love, Death and the Devil
Campaign: practise seeing beauty
Image 3: Love, Sex and Vanity
In the third episode of his 5-part-series Ben J. Riepe dismantles the first concept of his series' title. After the deadly complot in the Chessboard Room (image 1) and a meeting with the devil in the Dark Chamber (image 2), the third image now shows the abysms and profanities of love.
The series' subtitle, "Campaign: practise seeing beauty", is program: the production evokes powerful images, confronts our strongest passions and, with a sinister smile, comments on a love that is trapped between sex and vanity.
Concept/Choreography: Ben J. Riepe; with: Fa-Hsuan Chen, Evgeny Pankratov, Julian Stierle; Music: Alex Alves Tolkmitt; Costumes: Anna Kleihues; Lighting: Dimitar Evtimov
The production was realised during a creative residence by the Tanzplan Dresden. Supported by the NATIONALE PERFORMANCE NETZ with funds of the Tanzplans Deutschland of the Kulturstiftung des Bundes, the Kulturamt Düsseldorf, the Kunststiftung NRW, the steptext dance project, Bremen, the tanzhaus nrw, Productiehuis Brabant, Musiklab Brabant, Station Zuid, Tillburg, the van Meeteren Stiftung and Artsite..
