Kroki 2018 / Electrodomestics
Constanza Macras / Dorkypark
With urgent issues to be dealt with in nowadays Europe a fictitious band for ‘domestic affairs’ Electrodomestics investigates the domestic in the context of the household and relates it to the larger context of the domestic affairs within the ephemeral performance of glam-rock and of pop simplicity and immediacy. Literally different process of producing meaning and of communicating with audiences shall culminate in producing ‘eating’ settings, where the cabaret-like soirees of dining audiences could consume both ideas and food simultaneously.
Electrodomestics is a cooperation between choreographer and performance maker Constanza Macras and the Egyptian choreographer/performance theorist Adham Hafez. A ephemeral performance that aims at returning to the individual, through its series of songs and music performances delivered within accessible – and ridiculous – registers of expression and of experimentation.
