You can watch the performance of Danae Theodorou together with the autoteatro of Ant Hampton and Gerd-Jan Stam and the screening of Serial Drummer Girls of Koen Theys.
In the 1970s, researchers sent a number of items into space, including messages from Earth to possible beings from other planets. These items also included a photograph of a naked man and a naked woman, a series of greetings in different languages, and sounds and music from our own planet.
One Small Step for a Man: Hello, Goodbye is an attempt to emphasize the irrationality of this act. The Greek artist Danae Theodoridou (BE/GR) begins the performance with the materials that were sent into space.
In the performance, two performers and the audience sit around a table together. They confront us with how we visually conceive of our everyday lives and elicit a sense of alienation, in terms of what we had always considered self-evident. They challenge us to relive and reimagine life on our planet. Let us together rethink the present and the future!
