- German Premiere / Ruhrtriennale performance
- Performance Music / Dance / Performance
›Meyoucycle‹ is a political science fiction fantasy concert about expression in the age of hyper-capitalism and technological mediation. Personal ads and old-school letters, chat-bots, tweets and untameable rants, poetic terrorism, sound and image collide in a rumination on contemporary and near-future life and the intense forces and interfaces that shape it. Combining music, dance and text, it seems to tell a story set in the near future of a group of poetic terrorists and emotional hackers who have all dropped into anonymity. Sliding through different genres of performance and music, inhabiting different forms of speech and physical appearance, they generate a constantly shifting horizon of possible meanings. ›Meyoucycle‹ is a song-cycle created in collaboration between choreographer and performer Eleanor Bauer and musician and composer Chris Peck with the musicians of the Ictus Ensemble.
