... for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff.
Joshua 7:11

\r\n

Since its founding in 2009, The Loose Collective has attracted attention as a result of the unconventionality and the rigor of the content of their productions. In their new work, the Austria-based international group of dancers, choreographers and musicians, deals with a foundational religious text: The Old Testament.
Considering this book as an example of human creativity, ambition and frustration, the collective proposes a stagetranslation of this enormous body of text in its entirety. They integrate text-sampling and baroque choir, beat-boxing and diaspora-post punk in their physical treatment of concepts of territoriality and displacement, whereby they not only work on the expansion of the means of contemporary dance itself, but also create an artistic project with a predestined utopian dimension.
