Liquid Loft - Stranger Than Paradise
Director: Chris Haring
Choreography: Chris Haring
Year completed: 2021
Country of production: Austria
Duration: 45:47
The cinema has been a type of communicating vessel for Chris Haring / Liquid Loft since its founding in 2005. Stranger than Paradise revolves around body and spirit, extension and contraction, animalistic and artificial intelligence. A hybrid, subtle, futuristic play for eight performers and an investigative camera. A mobile mirror is the main cinematic metaphor in the film and produces manneristic distorted images. Operated with minimal equipment but in return, expands its associative potential to the max.
