A multi-media dance performance on a special substance
Coffee is many things: a drug, a stimulant, and, after petroleum, the most important traded raw material. For centuries coffee represented the exotic other. Today it might create a local identity or different values.
post theater has invited five choreographers / dancers to reflect on the multi-layered substance – and on a notorious German canon – C A F F E E.
There has been a small book of rules by post theater that limited the choreographers in their creation.
