Hedonia

VVK: 22,- Euro | ZKM, Lorenzstraße 19, Karlsruhe

Eight by two meters of green artificial turf, behind which a landscape stretches out on a large canvas. Two people lie on the grass: “It's a perfect day.” Yoga in the meadow, the smell of the forest, a bird emerging from a hologram. Two bodies balancing and floating, techno, sexuality, the dog upside down and the happy cat. A futuristic rap concert, a dystopia, a rift, cold and pleasure, cables, wireless connections, microphones and cameras. Combining contemporary circus, technology, video art, rap and sound design, “Hedonia” promises an experience for all the senses. The one-hour performance stages a dialog between the analog and digital body. Hedonia mixes music, singing, scent, video, acting, dance and acrobatics. Clara Cortés and Moritz Grenz promise a new digital tech circus; the direction and choreography give artificial intelligence plenty of room to play its own game. Just as important as the physical presence of the two performers are the images captured by a camera and processed by AI, which are generated on a full-surface screen behind the artificial turf surface that marks the stage for Cortés and Grenz.
