Barbie on her 60th birthday
Barbie, the outwardly glamorous and perpetually perfect plastic icon, on the brink of physical and mental collapse. Long after her 60th birthday, this dance satire asks: what does she actually want for herself?
Drawing on music videos, advertising and comedy sketches from the 90s and 2000s, the piece presents a vulnerable, fallible and ultimately very human Barbie. She channels anger and resistance, parodies pop-culture-influenced sexuality, stumbles, doubts, screams, laughs, maintains her image and wrestles with herself – just like the rest of us.
When refusal sets in, her image crumbles. In a tragicomic manner, „Elefantin“ reveals the tension between performance and self-determination, control and surrender in contemporary culture.
