Palais Paradiso

The Talent Show

16 feb 2012

On the 16th of February 2012 a new edition of Palais Paradiso will take place with a live fine arts and performance program. For this yearly event artists are invited to show their (performative) art in Paradiso. The theme for this year is “The Talent Show”. It’s a wink towards the immense amount of talent shows of today: the participating artists will showcase their best tricks.

A sequence of performances, video art, installations and music will take place and contributions from the following artists can be expected: Guido van der Werve (NL), Nederlands Dans Theater II, Uta Eisenreich (DE), Sina Khani (Iran), Ieke Trinks (NL), Renee van Trier (NL), Jeroen Offerman (NL), Isabelle Schiltz (DE) en Nina Yuen (Hawaï), Emile Zile (AUS) and Persijn Broersen & Margit Lukacs (NL).

A glimpse of what awaits the evening:

Nederlands Dans Theater II will perform the piece “Shutters Shut”: a special dance where the dancers will perform their own sign language in which they translate the words of Gertrude Stein who will cite her poem ‘If I told him’. All in 4 minutes.

Dennis Verbeke (NL, 1975) will perform his Pony Performance where he will comb the hair of his ‘Little Pony’ collection (210 pieces) for 90 minutes.

Uta Eisenreich (DE, 1971) is a photographer but she will create beautiful still life pieces with objects in a playful manner. The objects will be connected to sounds with which she will make sentences as she creates.

Ieke Trinks (NL, 1977) will present ‘head, boxes, ceiling’ – an astonishing performance at the entrance where Trinks will place as many boxes as possible upon her head.

Nina Yuen (Hawaï, 1981) presents her new movie Juanita (2010). A dreamy and hypnotic movie where she paints elegant lingerie with a sky blue glitter nail polish on her pantyhose as the ocean washes over her.
