PIL AND GALIA KOLLECTIV – BETTER FUTURE, QUAD SHAPED
(Sun 28th / 8pm / £4)
Pil and Galia Kollectiv - Better Future, Quad-Shaped
With a programme of films by Die Tödliche Doris (The Deadly Doris)

A short performance that pays homage to the square. This performance, Better Future, Quad-Shaped has been taken from the artists latest film (recently shot in Cornwall) and is a square dance routine based on a
Samuel Beckett’s television plays Quad I and II, Bruce Nauman’s Dance or Exercise on the Perimeter of a Square (Square Dance) and industrial German band Die Tödliche Doris' Tanz im Quadrat. The square dance routine, in which four hooded figures mirror each other’s movements tracing the geometry of the stage, is taken from Pil and Galia Kollectiv’s upcoming film, the second in their Future trilogy.

Following the Kollectiv’s performance will be a programme of films by Die Tödliche Doris, whose contribution to the 1980s Berlin punk scene and beyond has spanned many forms from music, film and performance.
Programme selected by the band’s founder Wolfgang Müller.

Presented by Media Art Bath as part of The Sensible Stage a programme of three performances by Lucienne Cole, Melanie Gilligan and Pil & Galia Kollectiv. For more information, please visit: www.mediaartbath.org.uk
