Die Antwort

LIVESTREAM

Die Antwort goes live. Their production LIVESTREAM brings the endlessness of the feed onto the stage through a string of social dances. Whether it's Nae Nae or Chicken Noodle Soup, Bart Simpson or the Mike Tyson – how do social dances change when they are no longer performed together, but alone in front of the camera of a mobile phone? In this piece, Die Antwort confronts the fundamental question of how digitalization is influencing hip hop as an art form and pushing its commodification.
