Three dancers in constant manipulation by an invisible power…
The thirty minute trio BodyToys shows how neo-liberal capitalism appropriates symbols from historical revolutions (for instance, the image of Che Guevara printed on trendy t-shirts) to make them politically powerless and publically entertaining.
In the dance, three bodies are hung by their necks with a Slinky spring toy. Presented as characters from an audio-visual series, the dancers alternate between animating a Jack-in-the-Box, an automated doll, a cartoon character, a digital avatar, and a talking and singing toy. They are in constant manipulation by an invisible power.
