Mammalian Diving Reflex [CA]

«HAIRCUTS BY CHILDREN»

a project by Mammalian Diving Reflex (Canada) with children from the fourth grade at the Weerthschule educational center

“HAIRCUTS BY CHILDREN” is exactly what it sounds like. For one week, children from Weerthschule have been trained in haircutting. During the festival, they offer free haircuts to the public. It is a performance about crazy haircuts, power, and trust. The audience and viewers are asked to put aside their vanity, relinquish control, and trust that a 10-year-old has the creative ability, skill, and responsibility to wield a pair of scissors.
In their work, the Canadian collective Mammalian Diving Reflex seeks to overwhelm the audience with ideas and sensations so that intellect is abandoned and intuition is given precedence. They create site- and society-specific performance events, theatre productions, participatory installations, videos, art objects, and theoretical texts to encourage dialogue and break down barriers between people by bringing people together in new and unusual ways.
