CALL TO ARMS An artwork by PentHouss Artists & creative directors: Anna Lann and Yonathan Trichter Curator and creative partner: Helen Neven Choreographer: Ekin Bernay Choreography assistant: Yamina Lyara Director of Photography: Roy Brandys 1st AC: Curtis Blair Production: PentHouss Set design: Lyndon Ogbourne at LSD Studio Light design: Joshua Harriette in collaboration with PentHouss Original composition and sound design: Anna Lann at PentHouss Performers: Kailon Chery, Gilles Geissbühler, Jevan Howard-Jones, Jonathan “Chino” Martinez, Jonny Vieco, Chaldon Williams The piece uses dance, sound, light and optical illusion to explore governmental power, control, violence and social unrest. An exposé of the theatrics of order enforcement, CTA reflects on the complex relationship between agents of power and the civilians they supposedly protect; on the instrumentalisation of fear; on the duality of “them” and “us” at street level. Movement is dance; movement is assembly; movement is a call to arms. Full film: https://penthouss.com/CALL-TO-ARMS Originally premiered at Opyum Festival.
