Drawing from art history and biology, Plastic Belly explores a post-apocalyptic existence through scenarios of power and control, freedom and dependence. Plastic Belly is performed by two women; their fantasies and fears personified by the shape-shifting, ephemeral belly of a blue, plastic tarpaulin. Through birth and re-birth, the women emerge into the unknown, caught in a constant tension between a desire for intimacy and self-protection as they navigate the boundaries of their new future in this insular world.
Plastic Belly is a new dance work created by choreographer Courtney Scheu in collaboration with visual artist Itamar Freed.
