Fools at Work – by Samir Akika / Unusual Symptoms – Trailer & FESCH.TV:

In his new work, in-house choreographer Samir Akika transforms the stage into a catwalk of desires and vanities. A red carpet becomes a playing field for seven dancers, who together take a look at the self-image of artistic work. Equally inspired by conceptual art and fashion shows, Akika and the dancers of Unusual Symptoms break through the hierarchies of high and subculture and mix performative experiment, artistic activism and the escapist pleasures of late capitalism into a danced happening between desire and consumption.

“That is the purpose of dance and theatre: To entertain, to astonish, to make one think. We are very lucky to have Samir Akika in Bremen! As a side note, it is well worth watching this creation twice – once from the gallery and once, diagonally transposed, directly from the fringes of the red carpet!” (Marcus Behrens, Bremen Zwei, January 21st, 2024)

Production: Theater Bremen.
