Deep Dish

A dinner party turns into an adventurous ride through the dimensions of macro- and microcosms. The live-images of a handheld camera, directed by the performers, lead through bizarre parallel worlds of organic objects. Methods of film-making, along with acoustic contortions, evoke metaphors of baroque gardens, earthly delights and their inevitable collapse.

A society driven by longing and curiosity, flamboyantly but also callously celebrates its own transience in the manifold dimensions of reality, blown up on a big screen. In this still-life, all movement and human behavior is inexorably absorbed by the opulence of nature. As in the novel Locus Solus, in which the polymath Martial Canterel guides his invitees through different landscapes, one encounters in Deep Dish the beauty and the decadence of a human existence that soon will perish.

In the Perfect Garden Series by Liquid Loft in collaboration with the fine artist Michel Blazy, the motif of the garden is an expression of the human striving for control and their futile escapes from their own transience, but also an image of growth and proliferation that constantly leads to the development of something new.

Liquid Loft is supported by the Cultural Section of the City of Vienna, (Kulturabteilung der Stadt Wien) and the Austrian Federal Chancellery  for Arts and Culture (Bundeskanzleramt Österreich, Kunst & Kultur).

The visit of Deep Dish in Sofia is realized with the financial support of the Austrian Embassy in Sofia and DANCE ON TOUR AUSTRIA – a project by Tanzquartier Wien in cooperation with the Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs.
