Dance & Theatre Company
STAY HYDRATED“How to do much about little.Stay Hydrated is a delightful quartet that explores and expands the simple and common action of drinking to its extreme. The challenge is set in a candid yet playful manner, inviting the 4 highly skilled performers to come up with as many ways as possible to ingest water. Done with great repartee the partly improvised proposition is astonishingly entertaining and absolutely refreshing.”-Fabrice Mazliah, Frankfurt based Choreographer
Useless Machines is an international dance and physical theatre company. Composed of four members coming from three different countries (Sweden/France/Korea).
Our interest lies in exploring the themes of theatrics, performativity, humor and nonsense primarily through the medium of dance. We use our skills and creativity to create innovative and humorous pieces that challenge the conventions of dance and push the boundaries of what can be put on stage.
Our Collective is known for its nonsensical yet playful approach to dance, and we often incorporate elements of theater, comedy, and satire into our performances.
We are not afraid to poke fun and be vulnerable with ourselves or at our societal norms, and to use our wit and humor to engage and entertain our audiences.
