International Festival: CAPITALISM! Bring It On Again

Saturday 1 March International Festival brings out a new piece CAPITALISM! Bring It On Again at Nederlands Architectuurinstituut

“International Festival dresses up, addressing concepts of costume between architecture and performance, in combination with "thing" and expectation, projection and containment. CAPITALISM! Bring It On Again is another dress code for present day production of relations, a series of in situ productions laid out as grid where landslide and curtain raiser is parallel, and suit and suite is perpendicular to silicon and rubber boots. International Festival will remix dance group with sweatshop together with a team of architects, dancers and others to create a compilation celebrating haute couture, striptease, down dressing and facades.”

International Festival: On The Town

As part of PERFORMA07, New York’s second biennial of new visual art performance, International Festival takes on the monumental task of re-shooting the entirety of On The Town (98 minutes), Stanley Donen’s seminal 1949 dance film featuring Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, and others, in order to produce an inter-textual fiction engaging with the spatial and social geographies of New York City.

The actors exploring New York in the original film will be replaced by the performing team of International Festival. This social performance will take place over the course of a twenty-one day shoot, creating a wide variety of social situations as the team searches for and re-films scenes at the locations in the movie. The original On the Town will be running on a loop at Storefront throughout the process, and each day, the new material shot will be superimposed onto the original film, so that the final day’s shoot will complete the “erasure” of the original.
