Kurt Hentschlager (Austria/USA)
Feed (British Première)
www.hentschlager.info
FEED is an immersive performance in which the audience experiences effects and shifting moods in an artificial environment without performers. Like much of Hentschlager’s recent solo work, FEED explores the nature of human perception and the impact of new technologies on individual consciousness, using projections, artificial fog, pulse- and stroboscopic light.
(NB: Fog, stroboscopes and colour variators can have possible side effects on over-sensitive, asthmatic, claustrophobic or epileptic people.)

Compagnie Thor (Belgium)
V.-Nightmares (British Première)
www.thor.be
This performance series, in which Compagnie Thor turn Vivaldi’s Four Seasons into a nightmare in four movements, and challenges the audience and dancers’ most basic expectations of live art. At the heart of V.-Nightmares’ work lies our relationship with sex and the sacred, and the human body.

Rui Horta (Portugal)
Scope (British Première)
www.oespacodotempo.pt
www.campai.be
After the enormous success of Set UP (new territories 2006) this new work will deepen Rui Horta’s research on communication and the inevitable borders that we establish between us. This piece is about the different views we all have of the same reality. Two performers discover each other whilst the audience shares in their adventure.
Fri 29 February & Sat 1 March
Tramway 1, 7.30pm
Societas Raffaello Sanzio (Italy)
Hey Girl! (British Première)
www.raffaellosanzio.org
A rare opportunity for Scottish audiences to see the work of one of Europe’s most exciting and innovative theatre directors. Hey Girl! is Romeo Castellucci’s first full-length work since the acclaimed Tragedia Endogonidia.
Written by Castellucci after he saw some school girls lost in their own thoughts while waiting for their buses, Hey Girl! is an atmospheric and imaginative meditation on womankind, and female archetypes.
Tue 4 March
Tramway 1, 7.30pm
Tedd Robinson/10 Gates Dancing Inc. (Canada)
REDD (British Première)
An intimate evening with Tedd Robinson, REDD is the third full-length solo show in a trilogy that began with Rokudo in 1996 followed by Rigmarole in 2000.
Quirky and funny, fragile and poetic, the work exposes the hazards and exhilarations of living in isolation, reflecting Robinson’s self-imposed exile from the city to a farm in the country.
Fri 7 & Sat 8 March
Tramway 1, 7.30pm
Goat Island (USA)
THE LASTMAKER (Scottish Première)
www.goatislandperformance.org
The Lastmaker is the very last tour by Goat Island. Taking its inspiration from the historical trajectory of the Hagia Sophia, The Lastmaker includes; a female impersonation of Lenny Bruce’s last routine, a performer singing a pop spiritual and accompanying himself on the saw, re-enactments of Saint Francis’s farewell instructions, and the last minute of J. S. Bach’s Art of the Fugue. This show – recapitulating the concerns of 20 years of Goat Island – is not to be missed.

A Theatre Without Theatre
FT.com - Enter the artist, stage left:
"Using drawings, photos, posters, film clips, installation and sculptures, A Theatre Without Theatre is a rambling but engaging account of how theatre has influenced the past half-century of visual art, and goes to the long- contested heart of the matter: is contemporary art a decline into 'mere' theatre?"
live Art
16 - 17/02/2008
Susannah Hewlett works with performance and installation to create site-specific events which explore the cross-pollination of art and entertainment (playfully disrupting the structures of the arts centres and galleries in which they take place.)
Over a weekend in residency at Arnolfini, It's Not You will inhabit a variety of spaces to draw on Hewlett's fascination with TV game shows.

IT'S A COCKTAIL PARTY
Paola Pivi
IT'S A COCKTAIL PARTY
from 25. Januar 2008
Portikus Frankfurt am Main
Der Portikus zeigt mit seiner ersten Ausstellung im neuen Jahr eine spektakuläre Rauminstallation der italienischen Künstlerin Paola Pivi (* 1971 in Mailand).
Die Ausstellung wurde speziell für den Ausstellungsraum des Portikus entwickelt. Zu sehen sind neun Objekte aus poliertem Stahl, die jeweils aus fünf Meter hohen Rohren, einer Pumpe und einem Bassin bestehen. In jeder dieser Installationen zirkuliert eine Flüssigkeit im beständigen Kreislauf.
Die Flüssigkeiten, wie etwa Rotwein, flüssige Seife, Olivenöl, Tinte oder Kaffee fallen in einem massiven Strahl aus der Rohröffnung in das Bassin und erreichen durch die extreme Gesamthöhe der Installation eine Fallhöhe von etwa drei Metern. Die gesamte Anordnung wirkt als Rauminstallation auf diese Weise recht beeindruckend und strahlt massive Power aus.
Pivi ist dafür bekannt, groß angelegte Projekte zu verwirklichen, die absurde Aspekte der Alltagswelt hervorheben und den Betrachter mit unvorhergesehenen, spektakulären Situationen konfrontieren. In ihren Arbeiten bringt sie bekannte Objekte in ungewohnte Kontexte, so dass sie eine modifizierte Bedeutung und Funktion erhalten und auf diese Weise kulturelle und gesellschaftliche Konventionen vorführen. Paola Pivi verwirklicht Vorstellungen und Ideen von Anordnungen, die man so normalerweise nie zu sehen bekommen würde. Das Spektakuläre und eine gewisse romantische Vorstellung von der Umkehrung der Dinge halten sich hierbei die Waage. Pivi war in den letzten Jahren an wichtigen internationalen Gruppenausstellungen vertreten, wie etwa 1999 und 2003 an der Biennale in Venedig. Anfang 2007 zeigte Paola Pivi ihre Arbeiten erstmals im deutschsprachigen Raum in einer großen Einzelausstellung in der Kunsthalle Basel.
