Goodbye conscious consumer, hello Capitalist perfection, from farm to fridge all neatly disguised for your ethical pleasure.
Coming to you from a sold-out season in Auckland, meat is a contemporary dance theatre work choreographed by Tui Hofmann in collaboration with dance plant collective. It unwraps the meat industry and exploring its social and environmental implications. Meat offers an immersive and penetrating dive into the unsettling psychology of consumption; what are you consuming and what consumes you?
“Meat confronts topics that others necessarily wouldn’t and that’s what makes it so engaging. It challenges the norm which is exactly what needs to be done in dance. It will make you feel something...” - DANZ
“Meat offers a promising insight into an ambitious young company that is dealing with complex ethical problems.” - Witness Performance
“You would have to be made of stone not to be powerfully moved...” - PETA
“...striking ...unexpected...” - Theatreview
About Dance Plant Collective:
Our vision is to create politically challenging and transformative performance work grounded in an ecological framework. The roots of our practice are planted in a desire to nurture community, uphold the interconnectedness of all things, and honour the body as a locus of understanding.
Our collaborative practice is inspired by the genius of rhizome ecosystems: think mushrooms, underground tree-root networks, or your friendly (tasty) ginger-root. We embrace both absurdity and authenticity, trusting the spontaneous cross-fertilisation of view-points to produce startling new material staged in equally surprising spaces.
