(BIG GIRLS DO BIG THINGS)
An empty promise, a preemptive lament, a flirtation with expectations, a wrestling match with potential, whispering what should be shouted and singing what should be whispered, (BIG GIRLS DO BIG THINGS) is a solo on scale, volume, extreme limits and the grey areas between them; on grandeur and vulnerability, hubris and humility, visibility and subtlety; on the fragile braggadocio of living large when less is more but more is also unmistakably more.
With the inherent melancholy of things on the verge of extinction - an endangered species, a disappearing dance - Eleanor Bauer invites the audience on a safari expedition into the depths of the surface-oriented world of the performer. Navigating the folds, surfaces, and transformative possibilities of a too-large polar bear suit, Bauer performs a series of total metamorphoses that reveal, obscure, and distort her diverse capacities as an entertainer.
In (BIG GIRLS DO BIG THINGS), self-expression drops the self and expression takes over.
Conceived and Performed by Eleanor Bauer // Costume by Ada Rajszys // Produced by Caravan Production for Good Move vzw // Coproduced by Workspace Brussels and Vooruit with the support of the Vlaamse Gemeenschapscommissie
