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.

Funding: Kulturamt Frankfurt, Frauenreferat Frankfurt and Naspa Stiftung Support: Hochschule Mainz – University of Applied Sciences (ilab – Interactive Lab), ID_Tanzhaus Frankfurt Rhein-Main und dem Künstler*innenhaus Mousonturm In cooperation with Take Care! – Festival of Solidarity and Resistance (A project by Frauenreferat Frankfurt) Part of Tanz5 - Festival of the free Scene Frankfurt
