“Air Bag” (1998)
60 Min Electro-Rock music for dance performance
All live recorded parts, drums, bass and guitars was heavily re-edited to a point where the machine takes over the human playing.
Featuring: Morgan Ågren - Drums, Tommy Thordendal - bass, Philippe Boix-Vives - Electric guitars.
These violent space rock tracks will become the "Air Bag" record in 1998
A co-production with Borås Stadsteater, AIR BAG is based upon the idea of creating a physical impact between two people.
The whole coreography is focused on the lead-up to this collision (the twist being that the audience will never see it).
Four elements exposed to describe the coming impact (safety, absurdity, warnings and risks) are constantly present, leading to fear.
The audience is invited to explore the contradiction whereby, while we often do not want to witness a violent act,
if we find ourselves present in such a situation we will keep watching.
