Veranstaltungsdetails
Manila-based choreographer Eisa Jocson's work explores the entanglements of gender, affective labor, migration, and corporeality. She also explores the power structures and economies of gaze that are inscribed in theater and the entertainment industry.
In her latest piece, Manila Zoo, she explores the intersection of human and animal, labor, isolation, and spectacle, based on the role Filipino performers play in Disney parks in East Asia. When does Disney's world turn into a zoo? The COVID-19 pandemic has made this question even more urgent. Who is free to move about? Who is forced to live in one place, in a confined space? InManila, happiness and horror interpenetrate. Man and animal share psychosis in isolation.
