SYNOPSIS

A contemporary vision of cabaret with six male identifying performers, drawing from the sultry and sexually ambiguous excesses of Berlin nightlife pre-World War II. Dancers shift from grotesque anarchical poses to parades of strict geometrical composition in moments of pure and endless exhibitionism. Instant motionless line-ups transform them into contemporary caryatides. A spasmodic larval solitude travels from states of deep quiet to unexpected explosions with compulsive longing for unreachable unions. A reflection on the atmosphere of former subcultures that connects to fragments of the present.
