Premiere: Anan Fries - Resurrect In Peace (R.I.P.)

"Resurrect In Peace (R.I.P.)" is a funeral for a bird. The passenger pigeon was wiped out more than a hundred years ago, now it is being bid farewell with a techno-intensive ritual at HAU3. "R.I.P." deals with the relationship between human and non-human animals. In the midst of the first species extinction caused by humans, "R.I.P." celebrates the finiteness of all existences and questions the political potential of a possible revival. "R.I.P." is a ceremonial admission of guilt, a speculative immersion, a lament in computer graphics. The background to Anan Fries' new production, which is once again being created together with Malu Peeters, is a current project in the USA. This attempts to bring the passenger pigeon back to life in the laboratory. At HAU3, three performers will become the masters of ceremony of a farewell ritual using motion capture, a process in which physical movement data is converted into digital data.
