Kultursommer Wien - Alapeleca Inc. – Samuel M. Ekeh: Untitled

With the expansion of our last piece, "Unforeseen Compact Circle," we are embarking on another experiment by extracting a scene from our old piece to tell a different story through experimental performance, exploring different boundaries beyond imaginable limits. Our present times are changing unexpectedly with different effects from climate change, causing the overflow of sea levels, droughts, desertification, and economic uncertainty. Three artists will dive into an experimental journey, bringing three different mediums of the arts together in this untitled project.

Taking inspiration from Alex Katz, the choreographer will include a painter who paints and draws the new thrills from the performer's perspective that comes with taking risks as the dancer explores interdisciplinary dance techniques with a base on the Butoh dance technique.

We all move around with smiles on our faces but carry something deep inside of us. This piece contains some post-colonial elements that will be interpreted by the poet who is on stage with the dancer to perform his poems, which act as the music for this piece. The poem also contains elements that address the inclement of our societies from the arguments of color, social, and political issues of class, race, and gender.

To quote Pablo Picasso, "Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not," and it is with this mindset that we aim to push the boundaries of art and create something truly unique.
