Intense double program

Mighty MatPogo will be seen around Holland from december 2008 till February 2009, in an intense double program with the new work Escaping Grey.

Pure physicality, music and voice are the ingredients of a performance where musical and experimental theater can blend, in order to speak about growth and failure.

Mighty MatPogo

Mighty MatPogo is a work for four performers. Three dancers: Katerina Dietzóva, Hilde Elbers, Kay Patru, and a musician/singer: Mat Pogo.
The work departs from the understanding of failure. Failure is intrinsically connected with being alive. The possibility to fail belongs to every undertaken action. One only learns, one only develops oneself through failure. In a world like ours which is pointed at success, failure has become something for which one has to excuse oneself.
In Mighty MatPogo the musician/singer fulfils a crucial role. He analyses, comments and judges, in which his voice varies between primal animalistic sounds, human sighing and jabber, but also between melody and spoken text. Except for his quality as a singer/voice-artist, Mat Pogo uses his experience as a radio-artist: music, sounds, anecdotic and narrative elements fuse constantly.
