THE AGENCY

Medusa Bionic Rise

Duration 90 min (150 min on 10.8.)

How can a movement be political? And what does a body mean in the post-digital age? In their series “Movements” THE AGENCY is concerned with the potential of physical and political movements and how they interface. With “Medusa Bionic Rise” the young performance group develops a fitness cult engaged in radical trans-human self-optimisation – in the grey area between self-control and self-empowerment. Inspired by the gaze of Medusa, the artists create the fiction of an underground movement in their immersive site-specific performance in the understage of the Haus der Berliner Festspiele.
