Secret Service (2002)
„Art is seduction, not rape, and art cannot seduce without the
complicity of the experiencing subject“ Susan Sontag
„I need some hot stuff“ Donna Summer
No art. No Bullshit. No fussin‘ around. Only the curious, courageous and mentally strong theater-goer need comply. He/She will be taken into his/her own, strictly sensual, inner world. Trust pays off.
The new production of the Felix Ruckert Company delivers a pure physical experience, allowing raw perceptions of tenderness and roughness, lust and pain.
SECRET SERVICE is applied anthropology. The individual completely submits to the piece. The vistor's body becomes the center of activity. It is unconditionally handed over to the perfomers. The only choice is to continue or to stop the action. Focussing on the senses, the process radically alters the notion of time and space, leading to the source of art: the intelligence of the body.
The performance offers two LEVELS:
At LEVEL 1 the visitor's eyes will be covered, the
eyesight taken away. Under the protection of anonymity she or he will be moved, manipulated, seduced and challenged. Movement will be performed with, on and under his/her skin. Emotion will be triggered by direct touch.
At the end of the performance the visitor is invited to have a drink at the bar. After a break there is the possibility to access to LEVEL 2.
