Sailor on Aisle 5
Caroline Beach
“Sailor on Aisle 5” follows five performers on an identity parkour through the precarious waters of late capitalism.
A sailor* can be one or many and is an interweaving of ideas, objects, sound and personality traits. Moving in and out of being, these Sailors contemplate various aspects of our daily existence and the ways in which we ourselves become commodities.
Set in the abstraction of a supermarket, the performance moves through the layers of simulation in which we find ourselves, suggesting a world of endless aisles and infinite choice.
Sailor* questions how desire, caring, and empathy intersect with consumer culture and how they might exist outside of it. The performers move through the personal to the mythological, using dance, humor, and pop music to explore alternative futures that we might actively construct in the present.
Caroline Beach is a Texas-born, Dresden-based choreographer, performer, dancer and musician. Her work is interdisciplinary but finds its roots in the lived experiences of the body.
