the messiah game


in messiah game the iconography known by (almost) everyone has gone through a process of dissolution. the piece will propose interpretations of five core scenes of the new testament: the Baptism, the temptation, the last supper, the crucifixion, the resurrection. throughout the piece all the relations between the dancers will be emotionally and physically governed by powerplays in its different constellations, as felix ruckert chooses to articulate his piece around the motif of dominance and submission.
