MANKELI (2023)
MANGLE – performance for one human and five mangels
Grandma’s smooth bed sheets, attraction of the mangles and slime squeezing between rollers. These are the elements that are organized on stage to create an utopia in which pleasing order and eternal chaos rotate.The audience gets to relax with the steady hum and slowness of the mangles.
The MANGLE performance combines traditional use of the mangle machines, ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response), contemporary circus, object theater, live art and plasticine. The performance includes intensely miked and amplified ASMR sounds.
