SFIAF Presents: Kassandra Production, "The Soul Catcher, Unmasking the Modern Predator"

Wednesday May 1, 8:00pm; Friday May 3, 8:00pm; Saturday May 4, 2:00pm San Francisco International Arts Festival is proud to present the US debut of Kassandra Production from Copenhagen, Denmark with the US Premiere of "The Soul Catcher, Unmasking the Modern Predator." "Soul Catcher" is a seductive and deeply disturbing performance about psychological abuse, manipulation and power – In a powerful mix of performance, dance, spoken word and newly composed electronic music. The performance sheds light on the invisible mechanisms behind abusive relationships, with a specific focus on Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). A toxic cocktail of lack of empathy, harmful self-absorption, intriguing alterations of reality, the hunt for affirmation and a predatory and exploitative behavior towards other people. In a cynically manipulated game of love bombing, gas lighting and pity play the victim is reduced to an emotional punching bag. A source of supply whose sole purpose is to feed an insatiable ego. Kassandra Production is an artist driven platform for innovative contemporary performing arts, in the intersection of dance, theatre, media, activism and performance art. Kassandra Production challenges theatrical concepts and creates work that is characterized by a strong conceptual and visual outcome – mixing the trivial with the philosophical. The work is signified by skewed and humorous angles, often with multiple fictional layers and the use of multimedia expressions – in a border defying and complex scenic expression. Kassandra Production explores new performative spaces, places and concepts. Performances have been set up in private apartments, caravans, fairs, old factories, vans, abandoned stores, in the media, with and on the Internet – as well as in traditional theatre spaces.
