How does industrial labour shape the human body, and what becomes visible when we dance these industrial movements? With the help of motion capture and historical films, we capture machine and body movements, which are condensed by AI into new choreographic sequences. Aspirin is a dance piece that makes visible not only the physical but also the mental strain and permanent adaptation to machine requirements.

With Julia Alsdorf, Mariya Barashka, Andréanne Brosseau, Gregor Knüppel, Gabrielle Staiger and Silke Wiegand.
