About:

In "Kitchen" Anna Holter + Company go in search of the 60s.
Andy Warhol's synonymous film from 1965 provides the starting point: a group of young people in the kitchen of a New York flat, as they talk, build utopian castles in the air and stumble over each others' sensibilities a web of connections is formed between them. There are definitely too many cooks for this broth.
Anna Holter's dance develops the self-centered conversation into a genuine language of movement. What has an impact on these people? What impact do they have on others? What impact does observing them have on us? "Kitchen" investigates the intrusion of the everyday into art. The kitchen becomes a laboratory where different lifestyles are put to the test: is it personality or just posture, sympathy or sham, sincere or superficial?
Individual incidents from everyday life link together to form a bizarre picture sequence. But in contrast to the recurring pattern of a pop art picture, this is a dancing mosaic of individuality.
