Kobalt Works

ALPHA

ALPHA is a collaboration of Arco Renz with award winning pole dancers Daniel Kok (Singapore) and Eisa Jocson (Philippines). Together with the kinetic force of the computer-controlled LED lighting from Takayuki Fujimoto (Japan) and the fluvial soundscape by Marc Appart (Belgium), director Arco Renz (Kobalt Works) turns the principles of ‘verticality’ and ‘circularity’ in pole dancing into a highly-embodied expression set in a ‘synaesthetic’ environment.

The visceral and sensorial minefield of pole dancing provokes questions on the politics of gender and desire and the complicity of seduction and manipulation.
