In A Pole Tragedy, theatre maker Sofie Kramer explores the grey area between violence and eroticism, in a time when sexuality is under a magnifying glass. Fascinated by Euripides' famous tragedy Iphigenia in Aulis, about the sacrifice of a girl's body in a men's struggle, she poses the question: in what ways do women today sacrifice their bodies? She makes Iphigenia her heroic alter-ego in a sweaty duet between her body and a towering pole.Together with sound artist Mári Mákó, she built her own interactive dance pole, which she plays with her body like a musical instrument. The hard, unmoving piece of steel comes to life in this dark female fantasy. I’m pretty when I cry. I’m ugly when I cum. I’m free when I die. This is a Greek tragedy.Are you coming to say goodbye to the current Bloos building? This is the last theatre season before the construction of the new building starts.
