Golddiggers under the SUN

GOLDDIGGERS under the SUN is a ceremonial glittering sun party of golden heart-dances which,

through devotional tribal dance, attempts to invoke the healing of the modern human. Chained as we are to our

insatiable desire and pursuit of wealth and immortality in the ever running wheel of a consumerist in a capitalist society

that exalts and deifies consumption, progress and growth.

GOLDDIGGERS under the SUN is an extravagance golden artwork of raw physicality and deep fervor.

Insanity and Totality unfold exaggeratedly in a ritual dance rite on stage.

Cultivation of outer and inner wealth is explored through energy, poetry, power, destruction and chaos in bodily manifestations.

Golddiggers under the Sun is an axis mundi where primordial impulses and cosmic phenomenal connections arise through

the golden danceformations, which are often overly ostentatious, frenetic, flamboyant and excessively debauched scenes

in the attempt to open the cosmic overloaded energy between the sun and the earth.

A golden sun party which probably have no financial value on the marketplace

-  but....

the dance is (t)here

The work is inspired by the french philosopher Georges Bataille's theories about the solar economy and solar violence

wich he relates to the sun as the ultimate source of energy, exuberant, productive and destructive.

The work also takes visual inpirations from Edvard Munchs painting The Sun 1911.
