PFFHHH… A RUBBER DANCE PLAY - A tanzfuchs PRODUKTION
Bicycle tube snails, tyre-furniture, air pump-kisses and in the midst of all is a dancer who moves as if made of rubber. Seemingly boneless and rather flexible the rubber girl moves through her own world. Here everything can be twisted, squashed, blown up and formed. Everything squeals, gnarls and pipes. Pffhhh!
Choreographer Barbara Fuchs created Pffhh not only to test the elastic potential of rubber in its various manifestations but also the elasticity of dancer Emily Welther. Music by composer Jörg Ritzenhoff.
Artistic direction: Barbara Fuchs/ Dance: Emily Welther (premiere cast: Odile Foehl) / Music: Jörg Ritzenhoff / Choreographic Assistance: Emily Welther/ Stage: Barbara Fuchs
Additional schools performances on Monday 12th November at Echo Echo Studios.
