EMPIRE OF OIL
PART 3: An Infinite Ending
Ballhaus Ost, Berlin
Nach dem ersten Teil, einer dokumentarischen Videoarbeit in einem immersiven 360°-Space und dem zweiten Teil in Form einer Text und Medien basierten Performance folgt nun der dritte Teil AN INFINITE ENDING. Darin orientieren sich zwei Tänzer*innen am Transformationsprozess von Materie zu Energie und suchen im gemeinsamen Raum mit dem Publikum die Möglichkeit nach einem Ende. Die körperliche Auseinandersetzung stellt Fragen zur Übertragung von Energie von einem Körper auf den anderen; zu Gewinn und Verlust von Energie; zum Teilen und zum Verbrauch eines Rohstoffs, der in vielfältiger Form vor allem einem Zusammenhang dient: Energie und Beschleunigung.

EMPIRE OF OIL
PART 3: An Infinite Ending
Ballhaus Ost, Berlin
With EMPIRE OF OIL, the Costa Compagnie in cooperation with the Ballhaus Ost starts a substantial inquiry into this most decisive resource: divided into three separate media and parts, the project circles the complex topic oil and looks into the two contrary countries of Norway and Iraq. Does the powerful resource entail the potential for a social welfare utopia like Norway or does it lead to a never-ending war like in Iraq? What are the experiences of oil producers and oil workers and the people in their local context? Between November 2017 and May 2018, the group develops three intermedial performances and a virtual reality film between documentation and abstraction, based on the 360°-video material that they filmed on-site in Stavanger, Bergen, Kristiansand, Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, Kirkuk and Mosul.
After PART 1 – a documentary video-work in an immersive 360°-video space and PART 2 – a text and media based performance, in PART 3 two dancers will questioning the transformation process from matter to energy. In a common space with the audience, the physical confrontation poses questions about the transfer of energy from one body to another; about the gain and loss of energy; the sharing and consumption of a raw material that serves in a variety of ways for mainly one purpose: acceleration.
