Creative Childcare Sun, 1.2.26Fetching prices
In SKYFALL, three performers move in a world inspired by James Bond.
On stage are performance artist Steven Schoch, rapper SvmThoX alias Néisha da Silva, and pianist and composer Pio Schürmann.
On the effects-loaded stage, two of them reflect on identity, relationships, morality, values, and changeability. They ask: What is wrong with the world—and with us? How does real change come about? Again and again, they kill each other, only to move forward together.
The third performer at the piano remains seemingly detached – yet provides the weapons. Transformation becomes an imposition, death a metaphor for a new beginning. Quantum physics, neuroscience, philosophy, and social criticism intertwine with singing, rap, and discussion.
Bond himself is also questioned: What projections accompany the icon 007? What promises for the future does the Bond franchise pursue?

Biografie
Steven Schoch is a visual and performance artist, actor, choreographer, dancer, and singer based in Basel, Switzerland. He holds a BA in Fine Arts and an MA in Expanded Theater. His work typically moves between performance, theater, video, and installation, and is characterized by interdisciplinary approaches and a strong engagement with the audience. It explores the contradictions, confusion, and constant negotiation that define our everyday existence. He is particularly interested in states of ambivalence. Power structures, identity dispositifs, community, faith, science, and transcendental knowledge are examined for their aesthetic potential through a variety of artistic means.
