How can a movement be political? And what does a body mean in the post-digital age? In their series “Movements” the performance company THE AGENCY is concerned with the potential of physical and political movements and how they interface. With "Medusa Bionic Rise" they develop a fitness cult engaged in radical trans-human self-optimisation – in the grey area between self-control and self-empowerment. Inspired by the gaze of Medusa, the artists create the fiction of an underground movement in their immersive site-specific performance for the 6th Athens Biennale ANTI Biennale 2018.
THE AGENCY has been working immersevely with the formats and narratives of neoliberalism since 2015. THE AGENCY affirmatively overwinds these formats. THE AGENCY takes up the strategies of branding, atmosphere and corporate identity aesthetically. The content dealt with revolves around technologies of self and body, post-human affinity and alienation. THE AGENCY is Magdalena Emmerig, Belle Santos, Rahel Spöhrer and Yana Thönnes. They work with a group of sound designers, performers and dancers. The group lives and works in Munich and Berlin.
