Die HALLE FÜR KUNST is pleased to present the performance Rub your face onto your shoulder by Sunny Pfalzer & Marshall Vincent.
In the choreographies and performances, which often take place unannounced in public, masked bodies move across historically prominent locations and monuments, together forming shapes and creatures whose existence, like our general social body, is dependent on each other. The use of poetic elements in which the bodies move slowly or linger also plays an important role. Last year Pfalzer worked with Marshall Vincent, an American R&B and pop singer, songwriter, and composer, creating the performative play Rub your face onto your shoulder, a work that changes with every performance. Vincent’s music and texts describe and explore concepts of love, happiness, suffering, and melancholia.
