Franziska Aigner & Gabriel Schenker / Throwing Rocks

Dublin, Ireland

11 - 13 Sep '09

The performance Throwing Rocks shows bodies, whose faces mainly remain hidden or invisible, while the spectator is triggered into a close relationship with his/her own materiality. With a lot of enthusiasm and curiosity, identification is questioned through means of self quotation and refusal as well as through loss and absence of control.

Music drums by Eitan Efrat, excerpts from the soundtracks of Pirates of the Caribbean, American history x and The godfather.
Set construction Czeslaw Wnorowski
Set handling Tuur Marinus, Marisa Cabal and Fabian Barba
Costumes Hans-Peter Dicker

Background Information

Busy Rocks is a collective that works in the field of contemporary dance. It consists of five members (Franziska Aigner, Fabian Barba, Marisa Cabal, Tuur Marinus and Gabriel Schenker), and was formed in June 2008, when all five members graduated from P.A.R.T.S., school for contemporary dance in Brussels.

Busy Rocks was founded on artistic affinities and a desire to keep up and deepen the productive interactions, that were built up throughout the four years spent together at P.A.R.T.S. The collective functions as an inspirational environment and a platform for a constant and durational work sharing.
