Oblivia - Entertainment Island 1-3

Oblivia - Entertainment Island 1-3

 

Drilling through the vast world of entertainment and popular culture, from the shiny surface to the murky and private regions underneath, Entertainment Island moves from the main-stream entertainment industry through local to private pleasure, exploring entertainment and popular culture.

Entertainment Island 1 is an energetic take on the structures of the entertainment industry. An array of gestures, movements and sounds emanating from here are presented in this energetic performance exposing the mechanisms of popular culture. Entertainment Island 2 is a hilarious performance about lifestyle, news and soap operas, where local and global culture meet. Entertainment Island 3 shows the dark side of popular culture through a look at private entertainment in a minimalist manner characteristic for Oblivia.
Oblivia was in residence at the Kiasma Theatre in Helsinki, PACT Zollverein in Essen and CCA in Glasgow for the Entertainment Island project 2008-2010.
