Annalena Fröhlich works within a wide reaching spectrum of composition, choreography, performance
and visual experimentation. She creates surreal sceneries between everyday life and disaster, where she
manages to provoke an individual, whimsical-melancholic aesthetic, that runs like a red thread through
her entire oeuvre and invites the audience to immerse themselves in a questioned world and position.
PARK takes place in the vicinity of an amusement park, behind the glittering façade. The boisterous human masses on the site of the nearby park, a cacophony of laughter, show booths, machine noise, and disco tracks are clearly audible. But the audience sees something else. The audience is backstage, and what it sees and what it hears does not match. Sound and image are strangely contrasted. What is absent dominates the action, and the displacement of image and sound creates a strange and idiotic gap.
«Of course we are challenging nature itself and it
hits back. And that’s grandios about it.» Werner Herzog
Distant echoes of extinct animals and a hopeless
attempt to recreate long forgotten moments.
