Tired from countlessly reiterating L., G. & S. + T. before the long winter, Amerika set out to do things differently: New compositions and radical concepts for improvisation and performance were written, subdued under the thematic umbrella of “vaguely American pop-cultural references”. What came out of this creative process of reformation and -imagination was both unforeseeable and earth-shattering.
Amerika brings together ancient astronaut theory, an alien invasion, prepping culture, punk music, garbage cans, cheerleading, slap-bass, intricate clapping-etudes, a powerpoint presentation, an old slide projector, video installations, a Dance Dance Revolution mat, audio sampling, … all the while not shying away from honoring its history and yet again alluding to Dante Honeymoon and Otamanice! lore.
