DOWN TO EARTH is a whirling dance of constructed identities shaped by increasingly complex constellations that go beyond the universal social interrogation of “where are you from?” and “what do you do?”. Existing examples of socially coded dance, music and cultural artifacts collide until alien identities are born and shattered on stage, drawing on the human body as a projection canvas. What agency do we really have in rupturing our identities? Kieron Jina (South Africa) and Marc Philipp Gabriel (Germany) work together since 2013. For DOWN TO EARTH Yogin Sullaphen (South Africa) joins as a collaborator to assist in musical composition DOWN TO EARTH.This project is part of round 1 of the International Coproduction Fund, year 2016.
