Dan Daw: Beast – Sophiensæle | Independent Theater in Berlin
Dan Daw:
Beast
Beast
Calling into question the signifiers of power, British/Australian performance artist Dan Daw explores the intersection of 'normal' and 'abnormal' through the lens of his ‘otherness'. For Beast he has been working with innovative choreographer Martin Forsberg, designer Jenny Nordberg and lighting designer Guy Hoare. Inspired by the confronting images of photographer Joel-Peter Witkin, disabled performer Dan Daw offers an intimate and hyper-theatrical spectacle that licks the eyeball of normality while charging down deviant neurological paths visiting sexual vertigo, expectation, intention and effect.
