Anna-Marija Adomaityte & Gautier Teuscher

workpiece

Switzerland

Based on her own work experience at a McDonald’s and the testimonies of other fast food restaurant employees, Lithuanian dancer Anna-­Marija Adomaityte has investigated the physical and social conditions of the precarious shift work some people execute on a daily basis. «workpiece» is a portrait of a body at work: each movement is preprogrammed, no compromise, no missteps. Ado­maityte’s scrutiny of our performance­-driven society is accompa­nied by Gautier Teuscher’s live musical score, provoking dissonance and a sense of permanent unease. (zts)

Simple words

In this piece, the dancer Anna-Marija Adomaityte dances all by herself on stage. Her story is about working in fast food restaurants. The special thing is that she is dancing on a treadmill. With this, the dancer wants to show how dull the work in those restaurants is.
