  • Man in Mall is the part of the performative research platform reside-project that has been co-created for a few years by Daniel Landau and a choreographer, Anat Danieli. The starting point is the relationship between the human being and the area he/she occupies, reflecting broader socio-political processes and their impact on human private reality. In Poznań the artists will blend in the shopping arcade of the Old Brewery, asking about the role of an individual in the intricate structure of capitalism. Every edition of reside-project features the same process: faces of the show characters are filmed in huge masks and displayed on screens. The dancers lend their bodies to these unique “talking heads” , thus creating a “digital physical consciousness” in which reality and fiction merge. Distinguishing social mechanisms and transforming them into the building blocks of movement and voice, Daniel Landau explores the key notions related to body, time and identity.

The mechanisms of narration, combining the documentary with the abstract that enable the analysis of socio-political reality play the key role in his works.
