Pole dance champions Daniel Kok and Eisa Jocson storm the stage with intense physicality and presence.

Together with the kinetic force of computer-controlled LED lighting from Takayuki Fujimoto (Dumb Type/ Kinsei R&D) and the vibrant soundscape by Marc Appart, director Arco Renz (Kobalt Works – Arco Renz), turns the principles of ‘verticality’ and ‘circularity’ of pole dancing into a highly-embodied expression set in a synaesthetic environment.

ALPHA deploys the visceral and sensorial minefield of pole dancing, provoking questions on the politics of gender and desire, and the complicity of seduction and manipulation.
