"NEUER TANZ meets pop" in VA Wölfl’s ‘chor(e)ography’; an ingenious production intertwining images, music and movement, accompanied by sound waste from the acoustic rubbish dumps of our consumer shrines. While each new piece by NEUER TANZ is a development from the last and to the next, this project was originally inspired by the novel "12" by young American writer Nick McDonell, which describes the use of a cocaine-like drug in wealthy circles. Hallucinations, changes in perspective and deception also play a role in the development and consolidation of the multiple levels of the performance. The title translates as "in the left rear mirror in Woolworth’s car park", and it is in this mirror that we take a reversed look back in time.
